Precisely. The louder someone proclaims "we have all the answers", the more I chuckle at their overinflated ego and poke holes in the theory.

All the energy, both mental and monetary, that people have spent on this topic could have been spent on more important issues, such as working to reduce famines that are claiming the lives of thousands in the world.
