You seem obsessed with a particular person, Hubbert, rather than really interested in the topic. Clearly many people have taken some things from Hubbert but have formed their own perspective around what they take from him. Your post resembles someone attacking Einstein because he took Newton seriously. What needs to be debated is the views of those involved in the debate, not an antiquarian issue about some particular person not involved in the debate. Carrol
