I think your analysis is very perceptive and quite accurate.
And, I'm trying to reduce the amount of
--futile exercises
--tedium
--p*ssing in the wind
--useless pontificating
in my life.
Thanks for your wisdom. Will keep it in mind. But likely will leave such tedium for those who truly want to seek out such evidence. I've studied such things since 1961-ish. I'm not a bad researcher. I'm not a bad screener of evidence. Doesn't mean I always want to defend my perspective in a hurricane of narrow, rigid 'orthodoxy.'
Many things are tentatively known and held until the proof is FINALLY in. But by then, the merit or benefit in knowing the truth is much different than it is when the truth seems much more tenuous and up for grabs.
