If it's way off topicn then why do you bring it up?
You suppose incorrectly. I was pointing out that you were using a fictional
character to attempt to make a scientific point - a character written by the
man who may (or maybe not, lotsa noise, little surety) have been behind the
Piltdown Hoax, the man who wrote "The Lost World", to make a point about
evolution. I simply find it hugely ironic. :-)
