Ichneumon: via autopoesis of chemical cycles in deep-sea thermal vents

Before our investigation into abiogenesis was terminated by the raising of the fallacy of the quantizing the continuum (unwillingness of correspondents to accept there could be a definition of life v non-life/death) - we did explore the thermal vents speculation and discovered that the newer preference is primordial pizza (over primordial soup).

[Ichneumon: via autopoesis of chemical cycles in deep-sea thermal vents]

Before our investigation into abiogenesis was terminated by the raising of the fallacy of the quantizing the continuum (unwillingness of correspondents to accept there could be a definition of life v non-life/death)

That wasn't the reason for the raising of the fallacy, nor were the participants in that thread "unwilling to accept" that there could be a definition of life vs non-life. The disagreement was over whether there were graduated states in between.

- we did explore the thermal vents speculation and discovered that the newer preference is primordial pizza (over primordial soup).

The "primordial pizza" is a slang term *for* the hydrothermal vent scenario. Here you make it sound as if one has replaced the other, when in fact they are the same thing. Or have I misunderstood/missed your point here?
