    Uhm, Drew?  There is a slight probability that Richard has some
    passing acquaintance with faces.  Instead of lecturing him, it might
    be smarter to ask for an explanation if you don't get his point.

Feel better now David? Good.

You be smart and ask for an explanation of what the wise words mean; I'll be
stupid and disagree with his point. Progress by exegesis or dialectics?

Sorry to blaspheme in your eyes, but... Richard is (shudder) human, and is
not always right. Please don't assume that disagreeing with Richard means
not understanding his point. Likewise, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Marx, Dylan,
and the rest.

As to *your* technical point in this discussion: =?
