i’m rather surprised at you, at. “19 boys with box cutters” is not the simplest explanation. the simplest is “the ayrabs did it”. as one can see, it worked on jay. americans need the explanations kept very, very simple.

“You don’t have to be a genius, but you do need a brain. And you need to use it to acquire a basic understanding of scientific methodology.”

so you are relying upon others to inform you of what to think, then.

If I have a reservation about the editors, and I do, it is about Somoe. She strikes me as rather intemperate and given to extreme statements, which leads to frequent flare ups that calmer people, like me and others, have to jump in to quell.

Furthermore to praise Jon for his comments is like saying Da Vinci was known as a good designer of flying machines….

Recordings of conversations held by [names and functions redacted], declassified in 2090:

–So, what’s the final script then?

–We’ll say 22 Arab boys with box cutters did it.

–Why 22?

– Easy to remember. The number has appeal to Americans, wasn’t there a book called “Seize 22 “or something like that?

– No, men, no. The most important thing is that the explanation has to be ECONOMICAL!

– So… shall we say 19?

– No, that’s not what ‘economical’ means but I don’t care, make it 19.

–What does ‘economical’ mean?

– How shall I put it so that you, monkeys, understand? Economical means the simplest explanation: 19 boys with box cutters, that’s it. It’s like Darwin. Get that picture of Darwin from my desk. See?

“…despotes as Hitler……… Assad …”

“You don’t need to be an expert in biology to work out why Darwin’s theory of evolution is..”

of course not, if you’re THE MISSING LINK

“You don’t have to be a genius, but you do need a brain. And you need to use it to acquire a basic understanding of scientific methodology.”

oh yes, ML, everybody knows that with a brain like YOURS + YOUR basic understanding of scientific methodology you could easily destroy the 3 Giza pyramids with a box cutter
