I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out to some people who seem to misunderstand that a debate doesn't always construe an attack on someone/thing. In the sciences, social and otherwise, knowledge advances through one person setting up a theory and everyone else trying to knock it down-- if the theory withstands all counterarguments, fine, but if a hole is poked in it, then some form of modification is called for.
