Uncanny. Absolutely weird. Apart from the "(incorrectly)" up there, I 
could indeed have written that, because it's true and exactly to the 
point. Of course for those who refuse to look at the mountain of 
evidence unless they are led up its slopes by their favorite high 
priests of authority, the data will go unacknowledged.
