Exactly. The rabbit holes are getting boring and pointless, well, because John, Sam, Audrey and Philip will never get around to saying what their specific (end-)point is. We know what it is, but getting them to say it ... so when anyone tries to suggest what it might be in lieu of their answer, even that is sent down yet another rabbit hole.

Sam: Constantly steers _any_ topic back to 'ramps', 'Egyptology is full of fraudulent pods', 'Stinky-footed-bumpkins', 'Only I know how to solve hieroglyphs'.

Audrey: Constantly steers _any_ topic back to points about who the 'asshole' is.

John: Constantly steers _any_ thread back to 'art'.

Philip: Constantly steers _any_ thread back to 'who said that? Me?', 'Anything is possible'.


Identical in each case is deflection; never willing to learn what might be true or false; slamming the answers they don't like because they are too proud to admit being wrong. The grand experiment by our good host Graham is failing. Wasn't the whole point learning more about the 'mysteries'? Solving them? The problem is no one seems to want to solve them - learn about them - get the answers. They *desire* the fantastical, thus more apt to perpetuate the pseudoscience.

So even if John Snape lays out a clear answer to what his point is, what then? You or I or whomever will naturally shoot it down, but what do you think will happen next? Ethereal hole after Ethereal hole.

Maybe he and the rest know - subconsciously - that their 'clear' points are going to be torn down ... they already realize the weakness of their arguments, afraid to face the fact the fantasies will be taken away from them.

//Rant over.
