so wait---before this reaches a level of tedium that requires the thread be shut down--and it's heading that way, folks---are you saying anything about the content of tisonlyi's argument, otto, or are you simply objecting to the form of some statements about that argument? if you're objecting to the form, then why not just say it?
but what about the argument itself?
do you have anything to say about it?
addendum: an interesting paper on the "missile shield" nonsense can be read here:
