Claude, you're so good at projecting the vibe of "I'm just a neutral observer here." As an observer, you might also call out the broadsides weaving conspiracies or the sweeping catastrophizing statements. I was trying to say it's not that simple, and I feel a bit singled-out for not providing footnotes.

Apologies, I've been out of town and unable to look at this forum - it was wrong of me to call you out like that and then leave.

It wasn't so much that I was trying to be neutral, it was more that you were arguing in a way that was coming off as coy, and I was only struck by it because I read the whole thread in one go (well, the thread as it stood last week, I guess), and three separate posts from you (here, here, and here) contained comments that seemed to be teasing knowledge without any receipts. And to be clear - I wasn't calling out the making of an argument without backup... I was calling out the TONE of the argument. I read these three statements, in three different posts, within a couple of minutes of one another, and they painted a picture which you probably didn't intend at all: "...but I'm also hopeful about some potentially life-saving benefits", "I bet you're right.", and "You're focusing on the artistic realm. There is much happening beyond that." There were 2 full days between the first and last of those... but I read them all together, and the feeling that was generated was "Kermit knows something about this, but is choosing to tease instead of educate."

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to single you out. I was just looking to advance the discussion past "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!"
