I thought perhaps Shane misunderstood Hawking's reversal on the idea of 
a singularity as a reversal on the idea of a big bang.
Apparently Shane has some other wild belief that I'm not aware of. Nor 
am I particularly interested in knowing.
I thought it was a simple misunderstanding rather than crackpottery at work.
