Sir Bahamut - yes I would like to go into that as well. I'm going to be fairly limited in access to EoFF after next week, but hopefully should be able to get on to discuss it. The FAQ did a very good job of breaking everything down and discussing pros and cons, but it would be nice to see how the theory stands with its arguments united. Also, parsimony might side with R=U if it explains lots of different things in one foul swoop (okay thats not very likely but still, it might prevent parsimony being such a reason against it)

finalfantasyguy4ever we have already discussed that it is perfectly possible to debate whether or not one can hold that the game suggests R=U without holding that R=U is cannon when everything else is considered. From what I remember this is one of the most calm and reasoned discussions (apart from the recent bickering, which actually seems to have resolved itself) I have seen. If you do not wish to take part in such a discussion, then no one will force you. If you do wish to take part, then please offer further reasons for your opinion of why R=U is wrong (those you offered earlier were fairly well refuted IMHO).
