Please read the rest of my article, Adam. I have actually tried to answer your problem and point to a solution. I have implicitly asked you to think. Now I ask you explicitly: If you insist on behaving stupidly, I must conclude that you are no longer interested in a solution, if you ever where, but in arguing and quibbling. I am interested in solving problems, but some people are so dead set on being personally "right" that they lose track of their problem. Which is more important to you: Having _been_ right by insisting on your past understanding or _becoming_ right by learning and thinking? If you do not display some evidence of actual thinking if you choose to respond, you will get the last word. -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief. 70 percent of American adults do not understand the scientific process.
