she does not differentiate between the larger topic at hand and the small mechanisms within that topic. So she is drawn like a moth to fame to WHAT SHE KNOWS [or thinks she knows], and picks out flaws in the overall flow and gets mired down like a raft getting stuck in an eddy while the river of life passes by.

Err, you could be talking about me, here, except that, of course, I don't agree with you that disproving the "flaws" on assumptions on which an argument is based is necessarily "getting stuck" etc.

This is scientific methodology - i.e. if the assumptions are false, then the conclusions don't stand a chance. What you call "picking small flaws" is, most probably, actually undermining your whole argument.

It's the sign of a mathematical mindset. Quite enervating to most people who don't think in these terms, apparently (I am told).

Dak:

Reminds me of that hilariously funny remark made by an airline captain after a fellow pilot screws up taxiing directions and gets raked by a female controller. After a long silence on the radios, a fellow pilot hits the mike button and enquires in a quiet voice, ("Wasn't I married to you once?" (vbg)

(I couldn't help it,... the devil made me do it) (vbg)

Best, Earlie
