re: #397 Sharmuta

While you’re obviously trying to spin my words, I’ll still attempt to address your point…

When attempting to make a point without sounding shrill or apocryphal it is best to examine one’s audience. And as much as you may want to believe that Lizards have highly scientific backgrounds, I would lean towards believing that such people are in the minority here. My background, for instance, is in computer science — yet I consider myself to be very limited in my understanding of the natural sciences.

Now, my experience has been that when I hear people telling me that they have a firm grasp on what the future holds that I should regard it with a certain amount of skepticism. Your experience may differ. But the skepticism can be entirely avoided by using more carefully-crafted language! That’s my point, take it or leave it.

But, please, don’t attempt to claim that I’m denying science. I’ve been quite clear that I’ve no standing to question LVQ’s facts. I’m only giving advice aimed at improving the delivery. And that advice can be easily dismissed without acting like I’m a climate-denier.

Just sayin’…
