And these are good points. (They have nothing to do with what I was
criticizing, yes, perhaps a trifle perfunctorily, but nonsense is
nonsense....)
I have the utmost respect and admiration for folklore, and the study of
such is an important and responsible cultural tool.
I even have a respect for the study of urban legends, and other arcane
paradings of modern nonsense.
But I do not respect such prattle being presented as fact.
