I admit I can't get much out of Timwstamp's account, either, but that last post from Steve appears to boil down to it is not scientific so it's without merit. And I don't agree for several reasons including that no one claimed it was scientific. Timestamp appears to regard that as inhibiting the way you look at things and i agree with him/her that it can. And so do you, I think, as you often refer to lack of rationality to supporting the football club you do. But also I think it underrates the importance of anecdotal information in steering more formal science, if only its role identifying something "that might be worth exploring"
