RE: Not germaine to discussion; I think.
But surely it is germane. If the explanation that a watery death is stupid (your words, not mine), it would be interesting to know WHY it meets the adjective and what is the explanation that best fits the evidecne.
Perhaps I should have said simplistic.
I can give all KINDs of 'alternatives' that can be neither proven or disproven; but why waste my time?
