Thanks Paula.
I suppose I'm not surprised about the general public. I have to fight constantly against the perception my friends have garnered from the media, so I understand that. What astonishes me is that an obviously educated person stands up in such a public forum and states things with such misplaced confidence. I would try to make sure I wasn't talking nonsense before my voice was recorded for posterity! The person asking the question of Richard didn't have the first understanding of his position; a simple Google could have prevented them from appearing a complete fool. That would motivate me to do the research.
