What if your understanding is wrong? ...

What if. What if your understanding is wrong. We can ask that question all day. You'll never own up to being wrong even if it's pointed out clearly that you are wrong. And you will continue to say we're all wrong because everyone on the planet that disagrees with your conclusions is just too stupid to understand something only you seem to have the intelligence to understand. The only thing that really shows is your haughtiness. Try selling that to the public - You're stupid so shut up.. you can't and they wouldn't put up with it. In fact, they've already gotten a sense of that and have been insensed by it as much as the rest of us here.

[What if your understanding is wrong? ...]

What if. What if your understanding is wrong. We can ask that question all day.

And judging from your post, you'll also spend all day going on about how "we can ask that question all day", rather than actually answer any of the six specific questions he put to you...

You'll never own up to being wrong even if it's pointed out clearly that you are wrong.

Where has he been "clearly" wrong?

And you will continue to say we're all wrong because everyone on the planet that disagrees with your conclusions is just too stupid to understand something only you seem to have the intelligence to understand.

He never said that. He has said that you're wrong because your statements are contrary to fact, and fly in the face of the evidence.

The only thing that really shows is your haughtiness.

And *you're* never haughty, no...

Try selling that to the public - You're stupid so shut up..

He never said that.

you can't and they wouldn't put up with it. In fact, they've already gotten a sense of that and have been insensed by it as much as the rest of us here.

You seem... quite defensive about questions concerning your knowledge on this subject.

I could not help but smile at this snippet by Havoc.

Havoc posted on a thread earlier in the year that:

"a theory is still an opinion"

Luckily, there was a correction to that statement by FReeper Ophiucus:

"Incorrect. A theory is "An entire body of knowledge associated with a particular area of study, including the basic postulates, predictions based on these postulates, observations and experimental data, and their interpretation. [Cal Poly Physics Colloquium, 9/23/99]Theories are well described, repeatedly observed, and verified statements. When they have repeatedly confirmed over a long period of time, the theory for all practical purposes is used as true or fact, (sometime referred to as superb theory such as quantum mechanics)."

"Theory does not imply uncertainty or opinion - not in science."

see - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1037248/posts?page=70#70

I don't know if there was any owning up to the incorrect statement that "a theory is still an opinion". Oh well.

Concerning the "anklebiter" name Havoc throws around later in the thread, it's not the first time the term has been applied to posters. When you can't argue facts, logic and reasoning, some folks resort to name calling.
