Please excuse a rather tasteless attempt on my part to dissect a small
sample of Abd's prose.

I beg to differ.

I think it would be more accurate to state that what Pigliucci heard
"over and over" is precisely what he chose to conclude as being the
truth. It is what he subsequently chose to write about ever-so briefly
in two pages of his book. The fact that Pigliucci apparently never
actually reviewed the evidence only goes to show how uninformed his
conclusion turned out to to have been based on what he chose to
hear... over and over.

Garbage in... garbage out.
