Excuse me for butting in, but isn't this a classic case of the genetic
fallacy? Seems to me that time would be better spent responding to content,
rather than arguing that the critic has no right to criticize. Besides,
much of the criticism has to do not with science, but with *logic*, which,
I assume, is available equally to all.
I'm a CPA; can I therefore point out only those logical errors or
inconsistencies attributable to other CPA's?
