Thanks for the reply Coragyps, that's an interesting field of work.
Jacen, not sure if this topic offended you. I am merely asking out of curiosity because it's interesting. I don't think a PhD or a published novel is something to be ashamed of, do you? I also do not think that just because you have a PhD you are correct, many people have many opinions that they hold true to no matter what, it's simply the perserverence effect.
