That's hilarious! In case anyone was wondering, BTW, I haven't lost my 
mind; I agree entirely with the thrust of that amusing satire. Although (he 
added heavily), I'd probably change `unverifiable' to something like 
`publicly untestable' or even, at a pinch, that good old Popperian standby, 
`unfalsifiable'.
