Them and I both! I certainly would have no reason to be concerned over short-term use ( short term even being a year or two ) of such a substance, used in reasonable quantities ( ~ 8 ounces a day, perhaps? ). I think the real question is in long term effects, and long term effects from a certain substance can be hard to study and pin down. > One purpose is to avoid functioning as though we > really KNEW as a fact what are frequently merely > logical deductions.

Back to basics is always a good idea with me, Terry. Often times, it is the obvious we miss! It is my opinion that real scientific professionals listen to everything. That is my experience, though it doesn't come from academia. You are right, though - finding accuracy and clear language to communicate with professionals is always a good idea. When dealing with the "non-listening" professionals, I know the language they speak - the language of Current and Accepted Authority. So I try to speak that language in applicable situations, where I can, although in truth there are more people out there willing to listen then there are deaf and stubborn. I really prefer to spend my time with them. > Without this > kind of substantiation, we cannot criticise them for > rejecting us and CS outright.
