First, I want to say that even though we have been on opposite sides of the
fence throughout this discussion, I think you have made some good points, and I
have enjoyed this thread.


I do, however, still believe that an expert opinion is better than a random
opinion, even if neither can be proven correct.  For instance, I would put more
stock in an astrophysicist's opinion on the origin of the universe than that of
say, my garbage man...   :-)
