Everything, you implied that the authors of the book could be
confused as wantedly misrepresentative. See this is what I
don't like when you are directly confronted on what you say
you become evasive, as if people don't remember. Your specific
critique of that book is what _will_ catch the eye of anyone
who read it, no matter how cleverly you try to disguise your
accusation, we know what you meant.

There is

wrong with

Others have their sources of information. Truth lies at the
insection of valid perspective, science is not composed of
only one perspective but many. You don't claim one guy is
villainous simply because he offers a perspective based on
_sound_ information he is most familiar with even if it
disagrees with yours. You have to take information from all
sources and try to synthesis a 'best guess' approximation of
science. Provided that Zalar can anchor his sources to the
same relative degree as other professionals . . . .

> End of this. You've been caught out and nailed. I need say
no more.

The ultimate diversion here.

> Take him down :-(

This is supposed to have some meaning?
