Cary,
While your idea is indeed a novel one, I don't believe many posters would go for the idea of arguing a viewpoint contrary to theirs, especially if it is one they fiercely believe in. We come to believe(and know) what we do through many years of education and experiece. Your proposal would obviate all of that.
Additionally, I do not come to SI to play a part, so to speak. I log on when I can and let my beliefs(and feelings) flow, sometimes only for a minute or two a day, although that is rare.
I of course cannot speak for the thread only myself, but I think it is in everyone's best interests if they bring their opinions to the table, misguided as they may be. I name myself as among the most misguided:-)
Cary, FWIW, I admire you in that you always attempt to make this a better forum to visit. Although I may not always agree with you, you have made the forums you participate in better for your being there.
Regards,
Brian |
