Platt: Thanks. To me "oops" means "Who the heck knows?." How about "got lucky?" Ron: I believe it's a best guess sort of scenario, what makes sense is a guess that is supported by evidence and observation. A reason for that guess. What I sense your argument is about is the absolute authority that traditional science seems to subliminally exert. That façade of "fact" What MoQ suggests is to re-examine the "evidence" in other ways to arrive at a possibly more accurate interpretation, it also suggests that the value of the interpretation may not be as high quality as originally thought to be.
