    Hey, hey, watch it -- some of my best friends' best friends are
    philosophers. Besides, I haven't noticed any philosophers contributing to
    the confusing array of claims on this thread, just a bunch of thoughtful
    scientists doing what scientists do best -- speculating like crazy.
    Nonetheless, I'll forgive you your trespass here, Dave; that's what
    philosophers do best.
