I was merely trying to avoid being a contrarian as George rightly noted a
nugget of truth in what you were saying. You claim that this paradigm
interlocks. If you do not allow me to separate out the parts that have merit
from the parts that do not then all the numerous internal inconsistencies
keep me from giving any part of what you say any more serious consideration.
