Ahh, the perfect example; overconfident with less than two seconds thought before posting.
First, for all, I would point out the usual caveats; to differentiate between what one thinks, feels, knows or believes and realize that others may not. Secondly realize that money and time spent create the illusion that one knows something from second and third hand hearsay obtained through "educational" institutions.
You see, no one really KNOWS anything without first hand experience and complete samplings over time and state. You must really be an originator to know something, otherwise you only believe it which turns professing knowledge into actually proselytizing belief.
One thing that I have experienced from the sampling of a decade of /. news is: Science is not a science. Let me explain. Participants over a decade sampling period have shown over and over , through random news sampling that; even the foundations that we have built on turn out to be wrong in previously rock solid places, inaccurate, inefficient, let alone discoveries inside the basic realms of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Outside forces of politics, personal gain, personal belief, ambition and career security muddy what we are told to consider fact.
The more you learn, the less you know and right now we all got shit. Anyone with any optimistic bullshit from here is to be considered a complete dumbass.
This IS still the dark ages, we have merely adjusted to the low light conditions. Science is still mostly bullshit.
