I operate under the principles of "efficiency of time" and
"conservation of thought". There's no need reading every book in
the library. Just the important ones. M�ller is not important here.

If you give an example of his "rules", you'll no doubt find a naive
simplicity in them that no longer functions in the context of modern
knowledge.

This means that Nostraticists need to smell the coffee and try
innovative ideas because the antiquated and simple views of M�ller
don't cut it anymore. I believe in Nostratic but I don't believe
in Nostraticists, especially concerning IE-AA connections.

... I give up. How does one teach logic to a sieve?
