We don't claim that we can fly from building top to building
top by flapping our hands because we see the fallacies of such a claim.
And we certainly don't try to do it. Nor do we claim that such a
hypothesis is as valid as the claim that we must not try such human flight
on the grounds that "Reality is merely a construct of a human mind, and
all mental constructs are equally valid." Some hypotheses really
are more valid than others, and some are wrong by imperatives of logic.
When we don't see the logic we can make fatal mistakes.

we tie in the experiences of struggling with them? How do we lead
from those experiences to the Web sites--and perhaps to making some puzzles
to show to some friends?
make 'em in 5 cuts?
"Aura words" tell a lot. When we misuse science terms we demonstrate
lack of understanding. Quantum leap. Parameter. Epicenter.
Specie. Exponential. Biggest and best.
a quantum leap?
Parameter. Rank. Intelligence. Justice.
Human rights. Terrorism. When is it dumbing-down?
When is it rational survival? When is it irrational survival?
When is it dangerous oversimplification?
dangerous dumbing down?
Heres a possible page to post to show the importance
of avoiding self-deception ("Stop looking once we've found what we like")
because of logical imperatives from statistical inferences.
