Exacting attention to detail in procedure and record keeping in 
research is absolutely crucial, but in human interaction digging 
out every possible negative interpretation in what the other said 
and warping it to either make my own point or to mold it into a 
target, which I can readily attack is counter-productive.

We all read, what was said and not said during the recent 
discussions about relative importance of research for- and 
promotion of cryonics and have long formed our own opinion as to 
where each of the debaters stand in the "he said, that I said, - 
which misleads and (not-) infers -  was not the meaning" 
discussion.

Any further justification and of one's own - or niggling about 
the other's viewpoint will only serve to diminish the image of 
the initiator.

Sometimes my reputation is better served by letting small and 
pedantic accusations ride, than by defending my position with 
petulance.

Have a positive day, :)

Olaf
