Ultimately *you* do for your operation, and *I* do for mine.  Do you want
somebody else deciding for you?

Have you got some constructive suggestions to make in this regard?

Personally I don't take anything as gospel, and neither, I hope and expect,
do the researchers.  As more information becomes available old theories will
often be toppled - so it has always been and so I think it should be.  Day
by day we work with the best data we have, replacing it if and when better
data becomes available.
