Could you please elaborate, westwall? I don't quite understand your point in that last post with respect to the latest rdean post you quoted. Brain surgeons ARE a select group that DO know more about the brain than most people.
I am alluding to rdeans continuous diatribes on pretty much every thread he/she is involved in. Invariably he/she will drop the bombshell that only 6% of republicans are scientists and then proceed to blather on. In other words a waste of time. You've been on this board longer than I so if you havn't noticed the pattern you weren't paying attention.
