Don't know.. Maybe, but as near as I can see, their responses tend to 
contain *way* more cognitive dissonance, and severe confusion over what 
their actual position on things are. I.e., X is true for A, because that 
doesn't contradict my position, but its wrong for B, C, D, and J->Q, 
because it does, even though there is no logical reason why it shouldn't 
apply there as well.
