And this is a nuanced point, to anybody seeking respectability in scientific context: Don't deal with the actual contents of arguments as this might make you look bad to people yacking at great conferences. That's solid scientific attitude in yo face: How you look is more important than your stupid arguments, technicalities, and truths... you morons! So get in line, already. I like that John is consistent, arguing in this fashion; because he has to flip-flop on finding pronouns ambiguous and unacceptable to finding them trivial and "nobody on earth..." so much, which must be hard, over the years. Admirable. Inspiring. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
