Why did you call me a twit (then welcome me)? That's a bit odd, don't you think? Moreover, if you called me a twit in the past, why are you reminding me now that you called me a twit? Do you have some special need to do this what we are unaware of?Sorry- that part of my post was to the OP. I have a bad habit of forgetting that nobody can see me turning my mental attention from one poster to another. @self: The @ symbol, Zazzy. It's your friend. Use it.
Apology accepted. Try to be sure you actually address the person you are addressing so we don't all get confused. TIA.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
