Thanks to you too,John R. Cole:

I'm thinking, but don't have time for a full reply. Witch-hunters are
always more despicable than mere absolutists. But with all it's blessings, is
not science a human institution, and prone to some human frailties? Seems I've

It's more exciting to challenge superstition in Galileo's style than
Copernicus' more Socratic fashion. Or was Copernicus spared the fate of
Socrates only by his early demise? Will we ever know?
