I don't mean to say that links to articles, data and other information to back up your claims are meaningless, worthless or insignificant. Just that said information isn't necessarily persuasive or beyond doubt regardless of how reputable the source. And I am speaking only for myself and where I am...where my head is at.
And I want to make clear that I didn't mean to infer that I do not respect host and the depth and breadth of his knowledge, as I am aware it probably sounded. Looking back I realize that in my haste I neglected to touch on the fact that, when host uses his own words (displaying the network of his own thoughts and conclusions) I am always impressed. Even if I don't agree. It's just that, again speaking only for myself, the excessive amount of reading material he provides does not encourage me to follow his line of reasoning.
