@johnfuller do you really want to have street cred in that? I think it’s better for everyone if you are open to the theories but you ask the questions that you genuinely need answers to in order to get yourself oriented / caught up. This forces the theorist to relate back to the wider world.
@lawrence Agreed. I suppose just opposing them puts them in a defensive position. I'll have to figure out a way to question him so that he might then question his own beliefs.
