"You are contradicting yourself."

No I am not.

"You said that 'isn't settled' is not a true statement, then you say things can and do change, which is a statement declaring things to be unsettled."

Well, _less, there you go, wading into discussions that you know nothing about. Because science does change. Even things that are considered to be settled. Now, it takes an extraordinary amount to do that, but it can, and does, happen.

Which is why something like this research is going to be closely examined. Passing peer review is a crucial step, but it doesn't mean it is a slam dunk. It has to be duplicated, the conclusions double-checked and examined for alternative interpretations. Mental lightweights like yourself often wind up being cranks because they think they have found a major hole.

But, I am easily amused. I look forward to you trying to defend this. No doubt you will wind up like Brumar who concluded that biologists are just using the term "species" wrong and he has a better definition...

Which is pretty ludicrous, but there it is.
