"Perhaps" is the operative word and thus leaves room for differing
views or opinions and not an absolute. To call someone who expresses an
opinion an "idiot" makes one wonder just who is the idiot here.
Disagree if you must; Dr. Wills left the door open; but a man's opinion
is just that and needs not be put down for expressing it. Free exchange
of information and views makes us all the better for such.
That's my opinion, Mike, and no more.
