 I think things get heated because it is so frustrating to witness the 
dismissal of this kind of evidence. The meaning is so explicit and so clear 
that there is just no way a reasonable person could reject it. And so you 
get accusations of stupidity and intellectual dishonesty as a reaction to 
that rejection. Anybody can make a mistake and we all have lots to learn but 
when these explanations have to be repeated over and over and over again - 
for years in some cases - people run out of patience. They get frustrated. 
That's just a natural reaction and the insulting conclusions reached about 
this stubbornness is not crazy, you know? Sadly, it's probably true. There 
might be other things going on too, but dishonesty and ignorance really 
would explain this persistent pattern of behavior. If anyone has a better 
explanation, I'd like to hear

Apply DMB's tirade to dismissal of the following evidence.

"What had happened since the end of World War I was that the INTELLECTUAL 
LEVEL had entered the picture and had taken over EVERYTHING. It was this 
INTELLECTUAL LEVEL level that was screwing everything up." (Lila, 24 - caps
