Okay, make your case that it's a choice. I'm all eyes, and I'll do my best to keep up with your formidable intellect.

Surely he would have put a comma before "Too" if he meant that. Another possiblity is that he was being sarcastic, in which case my challenge stands.

It's no about dismissing the results ... I don't contend with the results I contend with what the 'truths' from the results others would choose to impose upon me. Seriously, I have seen the same program on Nova that kite sites and read about the results and so therefore I am likely as informed as he, you or anyone else here on the subject.

This whole notion that one must be an expert and have spent countless hours pooring over research in order to contend with what is potrayed in a television program or article in Scientific American is about as useful as cali's lament of "why are you even a Mormon".

Honestly, try to see the hole in the doughnut.
