It is always such a good sign when the joke-cracking begins before the bona-fide scientific hypothesis is laid down -- NOT!!! [Must be some kind of "Leftie" inside joke.] Arguments like this usually end up all smoke and mirrors, attitude and atmospherics, with nothing substantial to follow.

It's hard to see how anything can be made of this sort of "evidence." But I'll be patient, waiting on the "experts."
