> And, whats up with all the name calling, my friend. I'm not calling you names. The bit about the pig is a _metaphor_, Michael. This is an advanced literary concept, sort of like an analogy. It doesn't mean that I think you are a pig or that I am under the delusion that I am giving you vocal instruction. It is a poetic way of pointing out that, since you are so entrenched in your thinking, attempts to show you where you are incorrect have the same likelihood of a successful outcome as an attempt to get a pig to do an adequate rendition of the "Queen of the Night" aria from The Magic Flute.
No, if I were pushed to apply a label to you I would say that you, sir, are a _crank_. Please note that this is not a pejorative taunt hurled "Your mother wears army boots" fashion at a fellow occupant of the playground. It is simply the descriptive term used in the sciences for people who, however intelligent and accomplished they may be in another field - and that amount may be considerable - have become so attached to their own private theories of the universe that no amount of reason, proof or contradictory evidence can dislodge them. As cranks go you are a small one - unless of course you have your own version of a Unified Field Theory or proof that theory of Relativity is wrong that you aren't sharing with us - but you are a crank none the less.
