What a wonderful article. It exposes the weakness that we refer to as emotion and passion. Tina Turner said it best when she belted out the lyric “Oh what’s Love got to do, got to do with it? What’s Love but a second hand emotion? I ask; why do we selfishly cling to that which can’t be grasped? It all comes down to what we believe. Our core beliefs dictate weather we will accept or reject music solely based on knowing the creator. Is it a human or is it a machine? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Science is repeatable, peer reviewable and changes as the truth becomes clearer. Science has never been about consensus, but has always been about pioneers seeking the truth. This leaves us with a quandary; Do we believe scientists who destroy data and refuse peer review, or do we attempt to gather our own data and find the truth. Currently the two barriers that will prevent us from finding the truth are those who believe that consensus is equivalent to scientific truth and the snow piled up so high in Washington D.C. that they are being forced to wait to open the office until after the blizzard of 2010 is cleared.
