Senior Moment
Please forgive me also for making an observation here that I am posting separately because it dismays me considerably. I have long felt that Internet debates often degenerate into the emphasis on getting a result in the debate. They seldom do this at all but the greatest benefit is to neutrals comeing into read the debate. At the same time, we are in danger of concentrating on the result at the expense of the subject. Can we all agree that this thread is lurching dangerously towards that direction now? Feel free to answer my sparrow analogy if you want but it is not really important in the context of the rest of the debate. In fact, in the context of the original debate, the thread has pretty much run its course now.
