Daniel, do you seriously think I would sit here advocating that Burleson stay on record with fallacious crap?

The concern with Burleson is that he never version-enables his works. So you can pick up two pieces of his work, and see that they express totally different opinions... with no *explanation* of what might have changed his mind on the matter.

Burleson doesn't, in other words, research, read others and serendipitously come to different conclusions, updating his documents accordingly. He sanitised the record once he's been proved wrong, which is quite different.

I doubt Don even knows the meaning of the word "acknowledgement".
