Fair enough. The reason I admire (good) sociologists and psychologists
is because they have to find a way to work in this mode prctically the
whole time. Even 'show me a mutation in a gene for...' was a fallacious
objection on my part because the complexity of those networks means even
there, where you can buy flashy tools/kit that will solve all your
problems (honest) positive and complete truth is damned hard to come by.
We're back to the religion/belief/knowledge thing though (and let's face
it, I could still be a weirdy alien playing the mother of all immersive
'real life soap' games here)...
Cheers, Chris.
