I don't claim to have the training, or the smarts of some PhD. But I will not be a lemming--following the intelligencia over the cliff because they think it's a good idea.

I am perfectly capable of assembling facts, using inductive logic, and making a conclusion. My conclusion should be judged on its merits, whether or not I have a degree and whether or not it is peer reviewed has no effect on a properly formed conclusion.

Your argument here is a red herring. That makes it a weak argument. Not because I disagree with you per se, but because you present a weak case.

I will read your link later when I have a little more time.
