If you are seriously interested in my musings on the subject

Well, now, to be perfectly honest, I'm not.

I'm interested 'in results', and to get there, and to that end, I'm interested in only the 'facts' and from those 'facts' what may be determined to be, to some varying degree of assuredness, 'the truth'.

Since we are human, we will never quite know the entire 'truth' of a matter; even Moses doubted for a moment - after all he had seen with his own eyes - so I have more than sufficient precedent to be saying this ...

My fear is that too many people, perhaps yourself included, are ill-equipped yet over-inter-connected with modern communications capabilities ('the web') that populism (verily, the purporting by a body or group, under-equipped and ill-equipped to explore 'an issue' nonetheless makes claims and publishes 'findings' of dubious value) is over-taking serious, determined, methodical, detailed study on a wide range of subjects, including the current subject matter at hand ...

The havoc you may wreak, in this 'populist' approach of disregarding and throwing aside determined, rigorous research and study is, IMNSHO, immeasurable.

For what reason does your not-so-humble-opinion fear havoc? What kind of havoc do you fear? Is it greater than a meteroid striking your neighborhood?

Get a grip.

Thank you for sharing your frustrations!

And you say all of this without even looking at my comments and sources ...
