Mr. Medin would seem to be hoist upon his own petard.
On the one hand, he rants and raves about the need for
"rationality" and hard, scientific data on various claims
that are made about the destructive capabilities of nuclear
weapons. Yet, he seems to have no inhibitions, whatsoever,
against claiming factual status for his own, unsupported 
speculations about the factors that determine sexual orientation.
Where is the scientific data, the "numbers"  that back  up
Mr. Medin's  assertions?  Or are we to fall  back upon  
"God's laws" for the rationale here?
