<Marc: No, I don't think so. Chomsky: IMO you best forget all he said.
Piaget: IMO it's very difficult stuff of uncertain relevance.
Gerry: What you are saying Marc is quite peculiar, IMO. Should the
works of both scholars be thrown out because the concepts are so
difficult? Then what reasons do/did Chomsky and Piaget have for the
continuation of their pursuits? What about your work with Elaine?
Several folks have come along who disagree with both of you. Perhaps
the reasons for disagreement is because your concepts are too
difficult. Should the Aquatic Ape theory be dissolved simply because
it's too difficult for narrow minded thinkers to comprehend? Or should
the dissenters of yours wait until you die and then claim the theory
(plus others you champion throughout your life) should be abandoned for
lack of relevance? If that's what you believe, then what drives you to
promote the AAT and to make such a personal effort to answer your
emails?
Always curious,
Gerry
