Crap, then I totally misunderstood it. I thought it was about how skeptics are unafraid of attacking bad ideas. OUCH on my part. I'm sorry. That sucks she went through that. Thanks for correcting me. Now that I know the meaning of it, I will re read it in context.

I guess this is where ambiguity and metaphor is where I part company with artists in every single case. Everything from poetry, to paintings even to Penn and Teller. I am no fan of "mystery" without explanation. It does NOT destroy the value of the artist to have the explanation behind it.

I even hated it when my parents said "look it up in the dictionary" when I didn't know how to spell a word or it's meaning. It isn't the learning I object to, but the "sink or swim" default position in every case. There is nothing wrong with explaining things. 

Thanks for clarifying, it still is powerful imagery.

I can't remember what my daughter said the other day, but my reply was, 'I doubt it'.
She said,'what does that mean?'
I said,'it means I don't think so.'
She said,'well why didn't you just say that, then!'
I said,'If you hear new words you might know better how to use them.'
She said,'I doubt it', with a little smarty pants grin. :-)
