I disagree.  At the very least, Dr. Hyatt admits his mistakes and makes every
effort to clear-up discrepencies and mis-understandings.

On the other hand, some only stand back and takes pot shots, hoping to do some
damage (why I can never figure out).  They never acknowlege when they're wrong,
when they makes mistakes, neither do they apologize for all the confusion they
cause.  Just grenade throwers, that's all.  Like an octopus, squirting a great
cloud of ink, and then darting behind it.

I don't see you ever tut-tutting and wagging the boney finger at them.
