That's a nice collection of quotes you have there. The two I like best
are:

--Albert Einstein
"There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale
returns of conjecture out of such trifling investments of fact."

--Winston Churchill
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof
against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting
ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."

It doesn't matter a hoot, within the confines of these newsgroups,
whether or not a snippet of observation can be proved, the
pleasure is derived from the conjecture.

So, you admit to not really caring about seperating truth from
fantasy. God to know.

Never argue with a kook. First he'll pull you down to his level, 
and then beat you through experience.
