Durrrrr. Very convincing explanation. My point was that I was interested in asking why so many people hold that opinion. Is it just tradition? That's all I can come up with, but I also don't think that by itself would be a strong enough force to make so many people believe in it so strongly.

Really, if you don't want to discuss something, why bother posting at all? O_o For someone whining about not considering other opinions, you seem awfully unwilling to tolerate any sort of criticism on this issue.
