It does seem to be a strange attitude to have decided that one would like to refute something,point for point while at the same time admitting that one doesn't actually know what one is trying to refute. This does not indicate an open mind.

Nevertheless, I am pleased to see that Jeremy has responded to my invitation to take a more civil tone with Scott, to desist from misrepresenting his article, and retract his accusation of spookdom. Perhaps his professed willingness to examine the issue in private with Scott is an indication that he is willing to listen now, notwithstanding his enigmatic quote above.
Hopefully, Jeremy will learn from this the dangers of getting the hackles up simply from reading the title and the conclusion, before one has actually examined the arguments for it.

This is a positive development.
