Reading the back-forth arguments about small cell in
which neither side has changed its tune no matter how
often the game is played becomes wearisome.

Empirical observation is a sound basis for advancing
the understanding of a concept. If repeatable results
can be obtained without obvious scientific explanation
then further study is required to investigate theories
until such times as a rational explanation can be
proven.

Not everything can be explained 'scientifically' until
the level of science expands to incorporate an
explanation that is rational and repeatable in
experimentation and in practice.

The fray of warring epithets begins and ends every day
as follows:

The response to the SCA (Small Cell Adherents) opening
banners of "No Treatments" from the SCO (Small Cell
Opponents) is a forest of banners declaring "Prove
It".

After a flurry of other banners making minor points
the fray concludes with SCA's final counter of with
"Try it, you'll like it" which is met with "We don't
have to, we know SC does not work".

The fray has continued to this day with neither side
budging in its convictions.

SCA missionaries are preaching of a new way and the
SCO is throwing up obstacles.

Whether Small Cell works or not, an industry has
sprung up to capitalize/commercialize on the belief
that SCA practitioners have a way to improve the
health and longevity of bee colonies. Proof be damned,
there is money to be made.

Nobody expects peace, but everyone would appreciate a
truce in which both sides desisted from laying fingers
to keyboards and assailing the ether space with more
emails full of oft-repeated phrases and diatribe.

"We have heard it all before, it's the same thing over
and over again" wailed one Bee-L subscriber, "how many
times do I have to hit the Delete key in my lifetime?"
