"Putting up", as you well know, is backing up your assertions with evidence, which you have not so far attempted.  I have no desire to exclude you from this discussion, but I would ask you to be a bit more constructive about it, if only so that you don't bore everybody else to death.  Your smugness does you no credit, but simply suggests that you are unable, or unwilling, to engage in informed debate.  If it comes to "worthy opponents", I certainly have no reason -so far- to see you as one.
