<DIV>As I said, I have no problem with a respectful pose toward Kay </DIV>
<DIV>as an "adventuresome explorer".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But in the end I think we need to converge - if we are to converge - </DIV>
<DIV>around a respect for science and its methods.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no discovery without exploration, but there is much earnest</DIV>
<DIV>exploration without discovery.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I consider to be the "assault on my sensibilities" is Kay claiming an </DIV>
<DIV>exception for himself, to the rules of the game. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are we to play by no rules whatsoever? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Seniority is not science. *That's* politics.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I to accept that I have nostalgia problem, an IQ problem, </DIV>
<DIV>bad eye sight?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hard, when what I think that what I have is a good view of the hand in</DIV>
<DIV>front of my face. And that this is what is causing my "problem".</DIV>
