As Richard points out, it isn't quite 'can't be done', and
it isn't dogma: it's basic science.

The worst dogmatists are dogmatists who believe they are right.
Like fanatics who see enemies everywhere.
I think it's little use discussing why it **must** be impossible.
Let's do the job and that's it.
I suppose people like you would never help somebody go to the moon
because it is **obviously** impossible to do.
 
I don't believe in the "can't be done" dogma
and I maintain that that kind of "think negative" attitude is useless :
it is just individual incompetence theorized as everylasting boundary to mankind.
