Hmm, very interesting. Penny ante words and nickel phrases to quantify one's thesis. This path must then lead to a scholar with no real world application. Study through the written word has no dimension to it.
I don't think so, Felix. I think he took you to task well on a few points.

For instance, when someone with anecdotal or first-hand experience posts on a board regarding How Life Is, we all tend by nature to give deference. But, your experience isn't the only truth of these issues. We cannot give it more merit that the pictures we see on TV or the news reports we hear. We simply can't do that. We add it into our database of information, but it isn't any "special" breed of evidence having more inherent validity than other sources of info.

I'm sure you understand.
