Ahhh--the old "logic--who needs evidence?" approach--sorry but that went
out with the Dark Ages--or, at least, most of us thought so.  By this
reasoning w e would still be practicing bloodletting--which by the way was
perfectly logical to all physicians 200 years ago!  What you say above is
not true and cannot be supported ERF
