I'm sorry, but his profession has little to do with the situation. And the amount of knowledge that you have doesn't necessarily translate to your ability to present it effectively. It's like having an arsenal of ballistics at your disposal and you've got miserable aim.

There's no reason to take sides on this debate, as no one is going to come out of this and say "Wow, I used to feel really strongly about 'A' but now I feel strongly about 'B'", especially with the absence of facts being presented. Not that facts are so readily available, and statistics are the tools of their presentors.

Agree to disagree, and let it go. But the personal attacks are uncalled for. And immature.
