: Don: You claim that it is correct, yet you refuse to back this claim up with reasoned argument. At some point an observer is bound to conclude that this is because you *don't have* a reasoned argument.
Qx: Ah sophistry!!! Is what the old man said. With Reason on such a high pedestal even John Ralston Saul had to wonder why. If Reason could jump to conclusions it would only have to skip.
