"Too many people here seem to see it as their duty to counter anything they disagree with so it is likely you will not be seeing me post much more since I simply haven't the time to answer each comment."

So, if you're not 'winning' this contest you're going to take your ball and go home?

I subscribe to the idea that I never lose an argument: if I convince the other party to change their mind, I win because I have succeeded in teaching them - but if the other convinces me to change my mind, I also win - because I have learned something and corrected an error.

I know that you find it difficult to change your mind about things which you have long been convinced of. It is always difficult to accept new ideas that conflict with one's world view. I hope you don't take it personally, however, and that you are willing to finish the course. Maybe you will convince us of a few things, maybe we will convince you of a few things - but we can all win.
