An argument = attack? You wouldn't last long as a scientist.

Science is interesting in how it's approached on occasion. It's so much
what something is as what it isn't.
I believe it was Einstein who, when asked what an atom looked like, once
said,
"Well, I'm not really sure what an atom looks like, but I'm fairly
certain it doesn't look like a cat".
You have to respect a guy with a sense of humor like that :-))
