The moment we realize that EVERYTHING on earth is determined by context and situation, we shall stop trying to generalise principles and apply them blindly. Thank you for interesting debate Kind regards, Agent Snowflake Hi Matt, I reply to your comments at my site, but never know whether you see my replies, so this time I repeat it at your site to make sure you see it.
