    FWIW, I do not see Ted's statement conveying that kind of message at all.
     It is more a simple statement of fact. Nothing more than that.

    Gordon also writes: "What eventually overcomes this opposition, when
    the ideas are correct, are the things Ted Davis attacks: observations and
    experiments"

    Again, FWIW, while I don't agree completely with every jot and tittle
    that Ted writes, I certainly do not see him "attacking" in any way.
