OMFG, Galileo and Copernicus weren't just heretics?! You've further destroyed my faith in my educators. Although, upon reflection - rather than 'faith,' I correct myself with: you caused me to question yet again the trust that I had given my educators in advance.

Something like the fact that smokers were relatively untouched by The Black Plague, and also that the various strands of Evolution are largely twaddle, given that system components cannot evolve independently without destroying their system, and certainly not on the scale suggested.

I consider your work admirable. It is well-written, thoughtful and detailed.

Thank you sincerely, for taking the time and effort to provide it.

A nice piece. Thank you, Asa. Just a summary of part of Koestler’s “Sleepwalkers”, but a great five-minute anecdote to misinformation about the past.
