It's a reef forum, and wasn't meant to be scientific. I think that is the confusion. Maybe you missed the question mark at the end of the thread title? (Thus requesting everyone's thoughts - no thesis required)
The thread was started to see what everyone's opinions were on the matter.
You coming in here guns blazing saying that what everyone else is saying is wrong because there is no science behind it comes off a bit negative. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your statements as such.
I've learned quite a good deal around camp fires, fwiw. And lab coats don't look good on someone as tall as me.
Heh guns blazing. I like that and yes I definitely admit I did. I guess I was taken back by the way you came to the conclusion and decided to ask the question. then even more so by the arguments presented for why each person feels the way they do. almost all emotional and very little fact driven. IMO.
Camp fire stories are always some of the best and most cherished stories I can recall
