Bruce and Lindsay are both right. (...) Agreed. Although I would argue that it's more likely in some systems than others...

(...) Yes, but to be honest, I'm not sure it's off-topic and thus I don't think it needs to be relegated to .o-t.debate. Best to keep it where it is (er, was...), where LEGO-interested folks will continue to comment. (But for actual o-t xposts, you (...)

(...) I'm making the jump that this would not be an issue under Libertarian non-government schools. We'd have a bunch of scientific morons in the Creationist schools, which is why I say on the theoritical level. You are correct in my estimation that (...)
