	Well, there are two kinds of "contradictions". First there is
disagreement between different workers in a field and often a worker
will change opinions about a matter. This results in seperate articles
which make contradictory statements, *but* nobody was actually
claiming to believe two contradictory things at the same time.
The other type is like the one refered to above, where there are
two contradictory statements in a *single* publication by a single
author! This sort of thing tends to reduce the credibility of the
author in question.


OOPS - almost forgot to edit the "Orphaned Response" pseudo-subject.
