Rich,
I am mostly in agreement with you. However the argument falls apart
when you invite an "independent" individual into the fray. The heart of
this thesis is to simulate karma to understand its workings. The
experiment requires dispassionate reason to take data and analyze the
evidence. Why leave questions like this to those who subscribe to
bronze age folktales? By definition these children have supplanted
reason for fantasy. Hardly the sorts we want mucking around in a lab.
