I'm not saying any such thing Sorry, I thought you were. But did you say that (sometimes) the professionals are not to be trusted implying that (sometimes) the non-professionals should be given equal if not greater import? And who decides? That is absolutely belied by experience. Academics don't get to be "Alpha wolf" by being nonconformist. Most professionals are not academics. And are you saying that there are not different Foreign Affairs Houses (think tanks, and such)? Well of course there are and the conflict between theories is constant and unceasing. And academics DO get to be Alpha wolf by kicking over the other wolves' (at the other institutions) theories. Competition is intense with a capital 'I'. --fl
