Or you.  Or Velikovsky, for that matter.  If "ill-informed" is an undesi-
rable property, how does one become "informed" without reading?  Should
everyone start from scratch and rebuild all of mathematics and physics and
geology and biology and chemistry and archeology and ..... for herself?

I keep writing a bunch of reply, but it's too easy.  Why argue with anyone
who admits to having total disdain for the work and experience and opinions
of others (eg, textbook authors)?
