I get it. You have a Ph.D. in calling names. And you want to engage in violating the rule of "Bad Behavior," by demanding I reveal my identity. My credentials are true credentials. Your reaction is to assume I am lying, instead of taking me seriously. I have also written over 400 technical memoranda in my career and nearly a like number of formal internal documents. My point being that I know how to communicate technical concepts, and I have read a lifetime's worth of popular science articles. Some are good, others are flash. In that quote, I point out that the artist's illustration was figurative, not literal, and that some readers were taking it literally. Part of what goes along with a technical career is a very good ability to discriminate bullshit. And all I can see from you is no Ph.D. to name, and simple hostility. In order to get, you have to give, and you have scuttled off like a cuttlefish in a cloud of ink.
You misinterpreted what I wrote. You precede yourself... I demanded nothing from you. I said your writings seem pretentious. And that to me should raise a red-flag to anyone. IMHO, I just don't believe your rhetoric. You know as well as I, the only way you can prove your lofty vitae curriculum is by identifying yourself. This is why I wrote that any curriculum vitae is worthless without a name. I don't expect you to ever prove it though, nor do I expect it. Therefore, no demand. Thus, the credential bloviating is non-sequitur and has no verifiable purpose. Be meek and humble to your fellow person:
But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” -- James 4:6
I pretend nothing, so what seems to you "pretentious" is from your own bias filter. I share what I know, and you can think what you want, but what I share is factual. It is interesting to me that you don't believe what you can never disprove. (Not that one should, but it seems to prove no problem for many on this board.) The problem I see is that you are focusing on the messenger, but not the message.
"A wicked messenger falls into adversity. But a faithful envoy brings healing." -- Proverbs 13:17
