ahhhh... I don't think there is much chance of returning to neanderthal life,....
at least not any more then is otherwise usual in this life.  No, the real danger
comes from thinking that we (any of us) are for some reason in possession of less
of the kind of stuff magic is made of then others.  We are all, as far as I can
see, just as committed to finding facts and truths, and just as easily fooled into
thinking we are in possession of these when we are not.  If anything will push us
backwards it is exactly the temptation to award far too much benefit of the doubt
to ourselves, and far to little to the thoughts and ideas of others.

Of course not, the list has its value. I just question the need for anyone deeming
it necessary to declare for the rest of us who's full of smoke and who's not.
Readers are fully competent enough to make up their minds for themselves.

As are we all I am sure.
