On thinking this over, it seems to me that any amount of experimental evidence in favour of a theory cannot prove it absolutely, BUT that *one* single experiment, appropriately chosen, duly performed and controlled, supervised and replicated over and over can and will absoutely disprove a theory. Let me therefore ask this: In the minds of those who *believe* in the dance language hypothesis (as opposed to those who merely regard it as one of a number of interesting and possibly useful ideas), what single experiment would it take to prove absolutely that the dance language hypothesis is untenable, or at least open to serious question? If we don't get at least one answer to this, I'm going to have to conclude either 1.) that nobody here believes strongly in the dance language hypothesis, or 2.) that nobody who does can imagine anything that would change his/her mind about it. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
