[MD] Earth the Centre of the Universe

[118]

Ian,
I am not sure of the percentage you give to scientist for allowing in the
subjective; it is common in particle physics these days.  But I would agree
with the intent of the statement.  Most scientist that I have met over the
years think they are doing more than they are.  But why not?  I think that
way often, provides more purpose and drive.  It is those that follow along
thinking they are being led to truth that need a knock on the head.  Yes, I
am advocating knocking on the head, shocking!
