Thread Name: BS: What scientists think about
Subject: RE: BS: What scientists think about
"just funning", LH, to borrow a phrase. I enjoy interpreting what people have written and not what they might mean. What you had written was trivial and noone would object. Such a sentence is usually started with "I too doubt..." or not said at all.
"I actually doubt..." is the start of a sentence by someone who thinks he says something not everybody would agree with. Such a start sounds pompous when followed by a triviality.
But since you meant to say something not trivial (utterly wrong and uninformed in my eyes, BTW) your 'actually' fits, of course. Only my deliberate misreading made it not fitting.
