I notice you have yet to turn your eagle eye and experimentors bias to my
proposed hypothesis or tests. Is that simlpy because it wasn't offensive
enought to your sense of science to motivate you to type, or is there some
other reason? I also can't help but notice that for all the gum flappin'
and armchair research neurology, you have yet to even propose description of
the "meme" and hypothesis for identifing one yourself.

Is that because that fence on which you sit, while being a wonderful vantage
for lobbing salvos at both sides, forms a lousy foundation on which to build
anything that might stand up to the test of time?
