Unwise. Not that I believe that this "Velikovsky" is anything but a
crank (from what I've read here), just noting that you went from
accepting the assertions of Velikovsky to accepting the assertions of
TheHermit. In essence, TheHermit's analysis is correct, but that's beside
the point. On the other hand, the "good answer" and "compelling"
parts of your response suggests you already had the factual grounding
to evaluate TheHermit's analysis as true, and by logical inference,
Velikovsky's ideas as false.......?
