"Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied.

Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous."
