`:*sighs* Forget to log in again Miskatonic? Tell you what, you explain to me what the difference is between describing someone's proposed beliefs as part of a recounting of thought on an issue, and asserting that those ideas are the truth, and explain to me which you think the article is doing, and why - that way I'll know you finally grasp the concept, because at the moment, it seems to totally escape you.  :If you can't address this basic cognitive difference, I'm going to more-or-less abandon the debate since you seem incapable/unwilling to addresses it rationally.  :BTW - I fail to see how a film maker and artist (according to your profile) can style themselves as being a ``scientific expert`` or even a philosophical one. Not saying you cannot have such interests or inclinations, but it fails to make you a professional in either field, and you have advanced yourself as an authority as you have been ``around science``. I've been around science too - I work in a technical field professionally, but I'm not about to run off and proclaim I know the ``objective truth of the universe`` and attempt to cram it down other people's throats. Why are you?  :  -   `
