[ERIC McCOLM] Uncalled for? Smug? It sounded to me like David has a very valid point when he said that Julie's claim that she had 40+ books that supported her position didn't mean much in the field of psychology where thousands of books exist with tens of thousands of perspectives.

May I humbly ask if this very article that you posted is exempt from this rule of yours?
