I just had to chime in here, after reading this entire thread. I am amazed at how many of you have been so patient. Then again, I had a few <cough> that were that patient with me when I first paid attention to "weird science" too. My experience with "septicism" goes back a few years.
I am not positive, but seem to remember that one of my favourite quotes originated from Chris Tinsley; or at least he used it several times. Forget pearls, pigs just look puzzled. "Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. You will only frustrate yourself, and annoy the pig." This is not analogous to any particular person, merely a stepping back to look at what is really going on. If the assumptions made by any one person are not divulged - i.e., their background, interests in the field, experience, etc. - then you can rest assured there is a reason. They might, perhaps, be recognised. That would never do!
