Thanks, Judy, I was replying to the connotation of the word apologist as I 
interpreted it in what Michael was saying. It does seem to have had, from the 
beginning, the connotation of defending a belief or idea that is somewhat 
unreasonable and or unproveable.  

Share, I would say that if you add the word "compulsively" before the word 
"defending...," you've nailed it exactly in your last phrase. Or do you 
actually believe that claiming to be able to teach people to fly or that 
bouncing around on one's butt can affect crime rates or the weather or that 
charging people tens of thousands of dollars to have brown boys chant to Hindu 
gods to heal their ills and make their businesses prosper are either 
"reasonable" or "provable?"  :-)
