What's not to like? I really don't think you do logic, T. You seem
well-nigh addicted to forming strong opinions, or should I say
encrustations of dogma, and, having formed your latest one, you see
supporting evidence everywhere, and counter-arguments nowhere. I don't
have a hugely passionate opinion on this particular issue, but your
peculiar blend of 'logic' is far enough from what I regard as reasoned
argument, to be worth flagging up every now and then.
