For reasons I can't entirely put my finger on, I find this whole thing
really disturbing.
Maybe I just find it upsetting that hundreds of scientists have spent
thousands of man-years pouring research into this lethal disease to find
out what causes it, but then some random person goes "hey, actually, I
think really you're all wrong - I don't have any logic or evidence, I
just believe this, for no particular reason". And now other people
actually *believe* this nonesense. And people are dying because of it.

Apparently the more you look for this kind of craziness, the more you
find it...

Trouble is occasionaly one of these fruitcakes turns out to be correct and
due to the highly specialised technical nature of things the general
public have little way of telling who is and isn't correct (and of course
there's that latin phrase you know so well).

The more a read about psychology, the more I realise that PEOPLE ARE STUPID!
The number of experiments I've read about where the test subjects do
things which are obviously irrational is quite astonishing.
(For example, you show people photos from a pair of digital cameras.
Most people prefer camera X, and a few prefer camera Y. Now you tell
them that camera X is 5 megapixels, but camera Y is 10 megapixels.
Suddenly everybody prefers the photos from camera Y. WTF??)
I worry about the human race... Seriously, how did a species so stupid
survive for so long?

It's probably that you don't really need to be intelligent to survive :-)
