It wasn't even a side claim -I WAS MAKEING- it was simply in response 
to that discussion. So, still, if you want references for that I know 
you can find them, If you already do not believe that then I doubt 
you will trust them anyway. I watch a lot of history channel, 
(sometimes I need brackground noise, and it might as well be somewhat 
informative, other times it's Science Channel, or wings or TLC). The 
subject came up on one of those docs so I recognized the reference 
when OTHERS brought it up.

If you snip that part, you alter my whole statment to mean almost the 
oposite of what I was saying. Asking me to cite something I was 
saying the validity of which was inconsequential is ludircous. 

If you are personaly that interested in the topic, why ask someone 
else to do the research for you?
