"What do YOU do?". Who me Ohhhhh I understand now, I thought your were making a general discussion, that required a general answer, appropriate to humankind. "What do I do when professionals disagree? I have already answered that question Message 16658168 but I'll spell it out for you just in case you miss it... I have mine..has worked over a period of time. If you want to know more then that, I'll send you my fee schedule. Of course you said first <<I guess that's one way to avoid the issue>> (in the same post above), well I said defer to guys like Churchill, Socrates, unclewest...for stated reason. They know more. Now, at this point, your asking me what Socrates has to do with the war going on Afghanistan? Well, I'll spell out for you. Socrates was a "thinking soldier" who had a distinguished record. Any possible connection with the war? Having served with some distinction as a soldier at Delium and Amphipolis during the Peloponnesian War, Socrates dabbled in the political turmoil that consumed Athens after the War Afghanistan is not the first war where people have been slaughtered, tortured and massacred. The historical record indicates that Socrates has seen it, done it, and learned in the process. He tries to impart (somehow) some of his wisdom to others. It's a conundrum though, and you are acting the idiot on that point. Your belligerent method of questioning reminds me of a courtroom. You will learn nothing for yourself using such methods imho. This not a "Perry Mason" episode. Getting to the truth does not mean "grilling the witness".IMHO
