I will confess why I started it and didn't finish it. It was pure ignorance on my part.

He was talking about aliens fighting for gold. At the time I thought future aliens could make gold; I had no idea at the time it took a quasar with enough energy to create heavy metals.

I have done the same stupid thing many times.

Another was when I was following the knowledge on evolution. I was a big leaky fan and would not read Donald Johanson's new book Lucy thinking it was pap.

Finally I read it and decided he was right and Leaky was wrong.

Live and learn I guess, is the lesson.
