        And the Eastern scholar said "five and none; the birds and the shot are
illusions."

        Your point?

        BTW, few, if any, birds would fly away if one fell from their
midst--obviously the Afrocentric scholar made unsupported assumptions that a
loud noise occurred that would frighten the birds; not the case if a silent
weapon (pellet gun, blow gun, etc.) were used. Are you arguing that
Afrocentric scholars make assumptions before being presented with all the
facts?
