Hehe!
Hey, upon redress, accompanied with the smart of having sounded like a
rebuker, I remembered that one of my favorite definitions of science is
'that which eliminates the impossible', and well, that sort of winnows
out to "that which helps us look at the 'what else'"....
The problem with apologies, and the acceptance thereof, is that the what
else's are buried in the oh well's, or, even worse, the of course's.
