I have apoligized in private, but let me make it public.  I clearly
over-reacted to the science statement. 

The best defence of any field is not through clever arguments, but by
pointing to solid accomplishments.  So, let us await the future of
Cognitive Science (and all disciplines) and hope for those
accomplishments (and help bnring them about).

My apologies for falling prey to the common affliction of the net:
flaming.
