Any reason as to why you'd single me out? I have read On the Nature of Things but what would make you question if I have? We can all contribute opinions, just as the author cannot read Lucretius' mind as to why he would choose to write the way he did

In that case my comment was off target. I made it because you didn't state you had read the piece, but I guess I shouldn't have assumed that. I have not read Lucretius, but I assumed the author was correct because his overall views fit well with what I do know about the history of metaphysics. But perhaps he is mistaken in this particular case.
