Subjectivity is more important than objectivity? So, according to you, the truth is 
what *you* want or feel is the truth? If so, then you are nothing more than a 
faith-based scientist and you should stop talking to me.

I guess you can't stop yourself from inventing these moronic interpretations, can 
you? It's hard for me to believe that you actually believe in the majority of stuff 
you write. I'm sorry that I can't reward you with more attention for this
