There is of course so much evidence around us that points to the holes in the standard paradigm. Its a worthy discussion. But this little army of 'defenders of that paradigm' have riddled this post with digression and distraction so I doubt anyone interested in this discussion will labor through it to make a contribution. Its the fate of most posts of this kind here.

If that was the intention then it was achieved. This idea has been successfully suppressed. High fives all around.
