I like to think of this place as if we are sitting around a table at
Starbucks. First off, most folks at the table wouldn't get so wound up
on assertions because they would know the asserter is just kidding
them. And we would hope that before someone replied they didn't say,
"just a minute" as they looked up something online on their phone or
tablet. That would be a really bogged down conversation, hmm. :-D

Barry does not seem to aspire to the kind of precision you enjoy. He
seems mostly to rely on his writing skills and memory when posting on
FFL. And we all know human memory is exceptionally pliable. He posts
things he is interested in, occasionally replies to people, and there
is a certain category of his posting that is designed to keep the rats
running on their treadmill, a Pavlovian thing. So checking on Barry's
claims is largely a waste of time as he is proffering opinions, not
facts, and is stoking the campfire so he can bask in the heat
generated. He has to deal with certain factual material if he is
writing about science for clients. If there other places in his life
for such concepts as facts and truth, it probably is not here on FFL.
This place is for the insane; perhaps there are a few amateur
sociologists and researchers hanging in here collecting data, but who
might they be?
