[Albion Wilde]

... I fall in a different camp than you. I’m skeptical until you prove it, as opposed to believing a claim until it’s disproven....

I agre with most of what you wrote except for the above. There is an area between open skepticism and unthinking affirmation that is simple open-mindedness, without coming to a conclusion either way. If I'm in a camp at all, (because usually I'm an original thinker), that would be the one. Nothing that I wrote claimed belief about their ostensible discovery; just that the possiblity couldn't be dismissed until resoundingly disproven.

A lot of snake oil salesmen make a living off people who go by that belief, just sayin.
