[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 3198767, member: 93416"]Dear Paul Perhaps I am turning into a grumpy old guy, but I seem to get lots of comments rhetorically phrased to suggest I am wrong - sometimes on this group, and even more often - elsewhere. When I dig into the matter it seems to me very often, as in this case, its fairly easy to find flaws in the facts or logic of the apparent contrary argument. It seems to be a sort of growing bad habit of modernity itself to offer just rhetoric - with no real substance. When I was a youngster, we were taught that that sort of thing partly caused the decline of Greek civilization itself! Thus forgive me if I seem a little insistent, but, do you agree that Wang above is just another example of a professional academic who is showing only the sort of cursory interest in this very important weight that I initially pointed up? All the Best Rob T[/QUOTE]
