Here we have the nub of the issue. Only Adrian's data/opinion is
correct, all other opinions are inaccurate/plain incorrect, so there
can only be one truth.
It's perhaps fortunate that you aren't dealing with opposing warring
factions (such as the Middle east) with your black and white approach
to debate, as we would have had all out war in those situations. I
guess that your career in the diplomatic service was a short one? ;-)
I shan't be taking part in any further debate on this issue as I much
prefer to use the garden wall to bang my head against, it's more
likely to give and take.
