We are getting a little out of hand on this. My comments originally occured because many contributors were coming out with technical statements which they presented as facts but without backing. They gave us no indication of their credentials but insisted that they were right.

We must have non scientific types involved in the debate but not in providing the base premises. And the technologists should be involved in the discussion.

Ideally I think a rounded education should include a scientific as well as a humanist understanding.
