All three of you know what I do in real life, though others here don't. You can all tell that I have made a choice not to talk about what I do for a living on this board. The suggestion that I don't live in the real world, that somehow my experience in the different fields you all know about is entirely academic and practice -- you wouldn't say that to my face, because in a face-to-face conversation I wouldn't be constrained by the choice I've made about what I'll say on this board. It's a cheap debating trick, one that just takes advantage of what I'll say in response, and one that plays to other people reading the posts but that the four of us know is bullshit.
