Finn, when I point out flaws and adustments in various popularly held theories I'm told that's how science works (well duh). On the flip side, these fine ivory tower masters believe in science and are therefore smarter and more right than regular folks.

It's a great argument.

To direct NASAs next moon shot (I haven't been asked yet, but I expect the call soon) I would use direct observable verifiable data. I wouldn't worry too much about who wants to sleep with their mother et al.
