Thought of letting this one go, but then changed my mind.

Egocentric views of things are far less notable and far less interesting than what those things actually are. It makes for tiring reading. Hope it does not come off as being too testy, my apologies if it does.



When we are talking about two people trying to establish common language, is it not important to talk about one has seen personally? I didn't do it to boost my ego, very odd to think that it came across that way!


>I didn't do it to boost my ego

I dont doubt that for a minute and neither did I intend such an interpretation.

Perhaps if I were to debate a well known and well understood concept in epigenetics in terms how I personally think about it (with not even an iota of intent to boost my ego), my comment above might resonate better. For the purpose of such a hypothetical debate, how I personally think about that concept in epigenetics, becomes more of a distraction. Does it not ?

No offense intended and none taken. I do learn a lot from your comments, especially about the intricacies of biology.
