You could describe the effects of gravity quite well without any actual understanding of it. We are all likely to be "wrong" in the sense that our understanding is not universal. Those that can describe in greater detail, those that can provide quantitative data, that can create predictive models, that understand investigation apart from intuition, those people are more "right" than those who say they understand something intuitively. I can easily, and have, explained my points in plain language, cause and effect narrative. I have also supplemented that with actual research. You are dismissive of anything that doesn't fit your preconceived world view and are make up numbers out of whole cloth while denigrating the usefulness of numbers that actually result from investigation. You are intellectually lazy and dishonest and your opinions on the matter are not worth dried spit even when I happen to agree with them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
