Charles, that use of "correct" also has an image problem: it sounds too much like some Stalinist thug passing judgment on ideas, the same way Uncle Joe passed judgment on people. You know, the "for some people, four walls are three too many" kind of thinking. A little more skepticism, a little more modesty, a little more of the Driscollian figuring "what questions to ask my answers," please.
