There has been alot of displaced air in this thread.
This is nothing and there should be no reason we can't keep this civil. Have you ever observed scientists with big egos debate a theory?
Now that's something to see!
Normally if someone comes up with a revolutionary idea, or disagrees with the standard theory of the day, all hell breaks lose. Sometimes after a few years the new theory is accepted.
It's human nature to get defensive if someone challenges your beliefs as wrong.
I remember not long ago when a researcher produced a paper that said gastric ulcers were not caused by stress, but by certain kinds of bacteria. The medical profession baulked at it but it's accepted a fact now.
