Peter, 
    I certainly with you and Maury. Additionally, Partridge's paper 
gives excellent insight on how not to do science. Despite temptations to do so, 
one should not make tenous assumptions , and then subject them to extensive and 
elaborate calculations. No matter how detailed and elaborate the model applied, 
the good old GIGO [garbage in, garbage out] still applies.

Among many other virtues, the article illustrates the process of relativistic 
nonsense migrating from the arts and humanities into the sciences.
