Since I was asked what my view is, I gotta say: I read and re-read this thread to learn about things I don't know "all about" before I read.
I am learning from the exchange of data between Mr. Burnham,
(a close friend and veteran of many internet exchanges respectful and teaching and empowering as well as sometimes disagreeing)
and Ms Dawn Meredith
(whom I do not know as long or as well as I know Monk) but I consider an important addition to my own information database as a very valuable contributor).
I pay attention to these good folks of demonstrated intent when they speak.
I must keep my mouth shut to be able to hear what the others are saying.
Both involved have valid views of events and I am still open to do my own thinking.
I try to maintain that attitude to enable learning
and change of my own ideas when data makes that change impossible to deny.
I read and await further input of meaningful data to help me decide what I think about the issues.

Read not to contradict and confute;
nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse;
but to weigh and consider.
