That sounds very reasonable to me.  I've decided that I can't comment too much
more on the area because I'm not esquisitely well versed on the subject, just
something that I happened to know a certain amount about and figured most
people on the list wouldn't.  Numerous good points have been made against some
points that I made, and I don't feel qualified enough to validate either side
at this point.  Though I do feel like a horse's ass for presenting arguments
which had very reasonable counter-arguments that should have been obvious to
me.  Ah well.
