Guys try not to confuse a personal attack with a honnest observation. Based on these threads I think tecoyah is relying to much on others. I posted for him not for you and I might as well have PMed him based on some of the responses here.
I gave up reading right about here....

You've just contradicted yourself.
Doing research, googling, quoting references... but then you say that doing so means the researcher can't think for themselves.

Anyone who has been in academia would know this type. Doing research is just fine, but when you find people who stand around and quote sources while they talk about a subject is a red flag to me that they are more worried about sounding smart then understanding. I don't worry about the name of the author, the date, and the journal a theory was in. Same with the WMD discussion. I watch, I listen, I read, but my point was if you want me to say when/where/who said it I won't be able to tell you because I don't remember.
