:So rather than defending the statememts made in the article by responding to any of the specific criticisms we have raised in a meaningful way, you choose to insult the people who have raised them and reduce any free discussion to the level of accusations and pejoratives. I can't say that this surprises me very much, but I find it disappointing that, on what is intended to be an encyclopedia, certain individuals are allowed to declaim their own opinions as facts, contrary to the general consensus, and throw insults around which, if used by any other editor, would probably result in them being banned.

:::The whole problem with this article is that it takes something that is already well defined and gives a completely different definition. What is described here may or may not be true, but this is not "big science". I suggest rather than giving personal opinions about SCIENCE we start bringing academic references (EB) to the discussion. [[User:HenryS|HenryS]] 20:33, 19 September 2008 (EDT)
