Majapahit Keris

[A. G. Maisey]

I do not see your posts as arguing against anything Kai, and all I have done is to attempt to dispel any doubts you may have. Exploration of ideas is sometimes worthwhile, but we all need to have adequate background in the area we are exploring, if we do not it is very easy to get lost.

As for errors, well, never forget Sam Arbesman and his half life of facts. I love that idea. But though I do love the idea, facts, be they shown eventually to be truthful or not, are probably a good place to start anything.

Put another way, if we wish to question something that is currently accepted by those who are generally thought of as expert in something, we need to produce either evidence or logical argument to demonstrate that the present beliefs are ill founded. We cannot just run around throwing red herrings into the air and hoping that they do not stink when they land.
