///I notice Josep has made no further reference to Dr Goswami.///

AH! That's what I was waiting for. Your attack on Dr. Goswami is ad hominem. It is invalid and betrays a complete inability to argue his statements.

You remind me of a Christian who attacked Robert Green Ingersoll because the man was a ruthless lawyer who ruined people and enjoyed it. My response? SO WHAT???? What has that got to do with the man's attacks on religion??? Nothing.

What has your attack on Dr. Goswami have to do with the statements by him that I quoted? Nothing. You left those statements unaddressed because you can't attack them. Then you think you can attack the man and that somehow validates you. It makes you look like a petty idiot.

So, yes, I refrained for your sake from further mentioning Dr. Goswami--whose personal endeavors are no business nor interest of mine. He is a qualified physicist and so if he says there is no such thing as a classical object, then it's worth considering. If you choose not to because you are not versed enough in science or philosophy to even be participating on this thread, I thought I would save you the trouble of further embarrassing yourself. And I wasn't going to say any of this as long as you had the sense to shut up after your ad hominem attack--I knew you never think to apologize for engaging in it but I had hoped you might be intelligent enough not to resort to it again. You're not. So this time I won't let it slide.

Yes, that's right. I had you pegged the day you quoted that ad--waiting for you to keep dragging it up until I had to set you straight but I had hoped you'd grow a brain in between. You didn't. So keep attacking Dr. Goswami, who is infinitely more qualified and more intelligent than you--but then who isn't? If that's how you think you can one-better people but you're only proving they are better than you.
