:That's the kind of censorship I came here to avoid. Wikipedians made the same argument, but I don't buy it.
:On what grounds do you reject the quote?
:#Writing fiction discredits all non-fiction written by an author.
:#*Bio-chemist (and science fiction author) [[Isaac Asimov]] wrote a ''History of Chemistry'' which I read as a teen. Bad source, right?
:#When an MD stops practicing or never even starts, he forgets everything he learned at university and his degree becomes worthless.
