First, I already said that the "submicroscopic giraffes" line was NOT
an allusion to quantum theory, but was simply an example of another
wishful thinking notion for which there was "no evidence against the
possibility". (Big deal.)

Second, these two things could equally be referred to as "religious dogma".

1) The notion of holding to causality as a dogma even though it has been
	proved not to exist.

2) The notion of causality being "proved" not to exist because science has
	ultimately shown acausal phenomena.

The second one sounds awful dogmatic, too, don't it, Mike?
