Touche. My point is that people who say never usually eat crow much faster than they think. Never is a polotician's word. I always thought a scientist's big words were, "what if..."
How silly for people to think that Verne might not be smoking when he speculated that we'd land on the moon! What folly! And Clarke to think that there was a band of space where a MAN made object could stay directly above a location on earth. What a joke! And that the Earth isn't the center of the universe! And how about those fools who disagreed with the US patent office in the late 19th century when they tried to ban new patents because everything that would be invented had been! Of course we know everything. We are little gods, right? Burn anyone, everyone and anything that doesn't agree with our current understanding of the universe. Burn them I tell you!
