that.

You'll notice dave, that I said, "despite your expertise".  I did not say
"because of your expertise I think you're wrong".    Thus I'm far from being
anti-intellectual.  I accord expertise its due.  But if nobody ever went any
further than "what the experts say" we'd all be living in a less advanced
world than we do.

I like to think for myself.  What I still can't figure out is why this seems
so objectionable to you.

dmb finishes up his wiki spouting with:
