@All

The reason I'm going overboard with this is because I think in society too much stock is blindly put in the opinion of the Academic community. --------
-------------------------------------------------------------
As an academic, often that is indeed true. Academics make assumptions and sometimes very wrong ones that can go unchallenged for some time. There are academics and then there are academics.

David Halberstram's "the Brightest and the Best"- which brought out the roles of the McBundys and Rostows- in making wrong assumptions in the Viet Nam war is a classic example of mis applied logic while making bad assumptions. But it sometimes takes a maverick academic to point out the mistakes of other establishment academics. History is not really a science. Science too makes assumptions...but history is more loaded with them.

Exactly, that's what I mean.
