It was a textbook that discussed - NOT SUGGESTED - a variety of proposals from others on the issue. Discussing does not equal "meant them", that's the whole point. It couldn't be any clearer except for folks who are far more interested in smearing than learning and judging actual words on their own merits.

Nudge nudge wink wink is mostly self-serving lying BS in political discussion. Or does accuracy no longer matter if a political end is achieved? I've certainly seen a lot of that on SI.

I had a class that "discussed" the cannibalism on Easter Island as a result of resource stress- it never occurred to me my professor was "suggesting" cannibalism.
