Well, Todd, it seems that some folks don't understand, or don't want to understand, that if a house is built on silt and quicksand it will soon crumble. Duh. So it is apparent that any information used as foundation for an argument or testative point and that that foundation information is flawed then it only stands to reason that anything emminating from that flawed foundational work will in itself also be flawed. One cannot gat figs from a cherry tree no matter how hard one tries, and that is a simple and obvious fact to all who care to not walk about with their eyes wide shut.
