What was so hard about saying that? I certainly can say it. I'll say it again:

Whether scientists all agree or not is not the point. Not all doctors or psychologists agree on a treatment. It is a scientific opinion. My opinion is based on biological understanding, not on faith speculation - which was what I was differenciating.
