Stephen, your statement is utter nonsense. And Brian has just proven it
to you. This is an example of your tendency to make wild overstatements.
You love giving the impression you are a scholar with your many and
extended posts of gobs and gobs of recycled SECONDARY LITERATURE, but
the reality of the situation is that you are intellectually wreckless.
As always,
Denis
