There is an important lesson here that I think we 
should all be aware of on discussion forums like 
this one.  Have you ever noticed the subtle "under-
message" in place when some poster accuses another 
of a "failing?"

"You're not being intellectually consistent" or 
"Your arguments are not rational" is meant to 
1) elevate the supposed value of intellectuality/
rationality and imply that they are somehow more 
important or more "evolved" than other ways of 
seeing things, and 2) imply that the person
hurling the putdown is more "in tune" with this 
"more evolved" mode of functioning that the 
putdownee.
