Re: Can\'t Believe the Difference!
Dargo,
Now we have this discussion going in the right direction. CT, Rat, Thomas, and California are having too much fun and got my actual point, or sure seem like they did. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
My case was flawed, though not entirely, but I think you may have inadvertently made it.... to a degree. My point really was cloaked (Star Wars again) to hopefully evoke this kind of reply, so to that end I thank you. I thought Skypup might jump in actually and lay it on me really heavy. That's always a good read and that was pounce material. So in all fairness I was baiting the debate to make it a little more interesting and informative. Didn't mean to pawn anybody though. So my sincere apologies if you take any offense. Not your style though.
This is very helpful to the synthetic debate. I don't pretend to have as good an understanding as you do on this. I couldn't have expained it that well as I don't understand it quite to your technical level. I do generally understand it to read it though, as do a good number of us who frequent. Most of us are aware that, for many decades, science had been cracking and reformulating in the labs, many different things that we find naturally occurring. That part of my prior post has some merit. That's what got the early science moving IMO. Break it apart, determine what it is, and try to recreate. So now we can engineer and formulate an incredible array of products that are both virtually identical too and substantially different than those we find as naturally occurring. No sane person would question that. Not even I. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm also aware the dinosaur thing, even though your uncloaking the truth, kinda takes the humor out of that. Also hopefully mitigates to a degree, the Synthetics stalwarts "high science" position, as the opposing counter word "Dino" ain't exactly what it was up till a few minutes ago.
So Dargo, I think we pushed this thing along and some others are having a good time in the process. I really think we can make more headway and get more of us old Dino types, like me admittedly, converted to the "high science" /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif side. Just have to make it a little less technical and a little more real from time to time. Take care and thanks again. Your reply was very,very well laid down. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Finally, you can rest assured this post is what I'm really thinking. Baiting over!! So you may take any issue with this and not get any more cute replies.
