  Ah, I didn't catch that. :)

  I wasn't going to say anything, but I admit that the "he is not a scientist" line did sting a little. Although it's true that I'm not currently suckling at the academic teat, I did spend three years at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as an undergrad and eight years at Caltech as a grad student and postdoc doing research in theoretical astrophysics. I like to think that gives me some cred as a scientist, and I appreciate your coming to my defense. :-) One reason I didn't hold the comment against the parent poster is that techiferous == Wyatt Greene, and he was by far the single most helpful pre-launch reviewer of the Tau Manifesto. He is clearly on the side of what is good and sweet and true. Speaking of good vs. evil, you sound like a supporter of the Jedi. While it is true that I am a Sith lord, it is my duty to inform you that it is the Jedi, not the Sith, who are truly evil. How can this be? Suffice to say you've been exposed to a lot of anti-Sith propaganda. ;-)
