I think that if I am going to take Cassidy on, it's going to have to
be in a full-fisking of sections of his book, point by point, with a
summary at the beginning that can be easily understood by non-
language-y types. Rebutting news articles isn't really going to cut
it. That's going to take a lot of time, which I definitely do not
have right now.

But we'll see.
