I just knew you would totally avoid my challenge and resort to ad hominem attacks. I asked you for a simple quote from Doug, whose opinions you have blatantly exaggerated; just one measly quote from him, which would show Doug "praising to the skies the technologies and heavy industries and growth trajectories", as you claimed. I might ask for even a sliver of evidence showing that I "share the same disease (myopia)", but I suppose that would be asking too much, and would probably provoke another irrelevant post from you.
