Maybe. But people can forget, and they can also know exactly what's required
to pass the tests, and nothing more.

I don't know if it is the real person or not; I'm just pointing out the
possibilities, and the fact that one cannot be certain of anything on USENET.

Good point.And this is exactly MY point.If AS disagrees with someone,
he could stand to be a bit civil. Also, the guy shouldnt debate topics
he does not have a grasp of. Kind of like what you did a few threads
ago.

I always have a grasp of the topics I debate, although I may not necessarily
be an expert. When I don't know, I ask questions. However, I don't accept
answers at face value, since experience has taught me the danger of this, and
sometimes people get upset when they answer and their answers are not treated
as gospel.

Incongruent?I dont know what that means.Dont use big words with me.

Incongruent with reality means that it doesn't match up with reality.

Or in this case he is calling other peoples credentals into
question. Thats an opinion I could do without.

Credentials are often so useless for establishing a person's qualifications
that I don't think that questioning them really makes much difference. Anyone
willfully naive enough or lazy enough to rely on credentials alone when
looking for authoritative sources will pretty much get what he deserves.
