Look at your last publication, and tell me how much paper you devoted to
attempting to disprove your thesis. I am sorry, but science doesn't work
like that, and you ought to know it. We are attempting to present a case
which has 1000 detractors for every supporter. Why should you expect me to
do your homework for you. What keeps science advancing is the interactions
of the community, not the individual scientists, each of which labors under
some paradigm or other. Every scientist is attempting to advance some
thesis, not to shoot one of his or her own down. Be realistic, Steve, quit
grousing and name-calling, and expecting me to do your homework for you!
