Hmmm...that's twice in one day that you attempt to preempt anyone’s reading of a viewpoint that may be different from your own. Yet here you are repeatedly on this thread bashing others who “take someone else’s word for something”. You aren't afraid others may leave you alone to defend the non-believer caucus all by your lonesome are you?

I don’t dismiss the arguments on either side of the debate blindly. I also don’t have much time to waste. If someone has taken the time to tear apart an argument proposed in a book, all I need to do is look at their argument instead of reading the whole book - and the millions of others like it.

If you really had good criticism against my technique - one that could hold water - you would invest your time in arguing against what the aforementioned reviewer of your suggested book has summarised, after analysis. If you cannot do that, it is not my problem. To make it even easier, you just need to show me if the author of your suggestion and his works have been misquoted by the reviewer.

I believe in spending my precious time, judiciously. I don’t have an eternity to waste over recycled nonsense, especially when others have graciously bothered to do so, for me and anyone else, completely opening themselves and their technique up for criticism. I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel.
