well... 'Understanding' denotes there is a certain 'logic'
underneath. What if there is any ? What if the so-called theory is a
non-theory, as pomos themselves pretend by aiming at being the
quintessence of 'deconstructionism' (of every theory, and consequently
-'logically'- theirs as well ). In brief, what if 'that theory' is a non-sense??

I think Doug can defend himself well. As far as myself is concerned,
I am going to hang his piece on my door at the ISS; just to
'provocate' those newly appering 'fast track pomos' around. From your
reaction, it seems it works well.
