Ah. I thought some of that book was too good to be true, although I
won't claim that I had any premonitions about the malaria part in
particular. Okay, so I can't trust the book.

Sigh. Damn all ideology, anyway. I guess I'll just have to put down
the environmental debate as having no controlling scientific authority.

Thanks, Mitchell Porter.

Sincerely,
Eliezer.
