Right, so we have moved on to an alien analogy.

That's the logical equivalent of a scientists who is set to discover life in
another planet and whose sole aim is to disprove it. This reminds me of the
requirement from an atheist to prove that there exists no God (disprove the
existence of something is impossible, let alone prove the inexistence of
something).

To hop back on topic, Linux guru makes a mockery of hiw own skills which made
him a 'Guru'...

There is the inclination to stand out from the crowd too. There continue to
be scientists who will say exercise is damaging, that the greenhouse effect
exists only in people's wild imagination and cutting down of forests in the
States is means of helping the environment.

Best wishes,

Roy
