Years ago there was an enormously popular television show called Dragnet. Don't confuse my wariness regarding facts with my insistence on logic. They are totally different issues.
Logic is the matrix into which meaningful facts take their appropriate place.
In our culture we are enamored with facts. Our Cartesian society would like to believe that, armed with enough facts, you can accomplish anything. That is nonsense. Day after day, week after week, I receive e-mails and phone calls from individuals looking for facts. Conversely, unlike many who are thrilled to be included in any way by the academic community, I tend to view the Academics with the same skepticism as was evinced by the great artist and priestess, Susanne Wenger who questioned both their motives and techniques.
