Information he gave regarding immunology and the possibility of developing
defensive vaccines was false, and I originally wanted to correct it.
Then, in response to my challenge to produce an example of misuse of research
in academia that was comparable to that of the army dumping bacteria from an
airplane on the Washington DC area, he gave us this gem:

Logical argument is wasted on people who think ideas are dangerous.
I do not care to waste my time.
