I'm not saying it was Aliens ...

Ok so you seem to be moved quite fast to yet another topic which Rogan and Jones subscribe to - that the US government has been back engineering alien tech in order to explain the transition of a simple steam engine in the 1900s to landing on the moon in 1969. From using an abacus and slide rule in the 1950s to having supercomputers in the 1990s.

Marconi invented the phone (another idea stolen from Tesla) and by the 2000 we have hand held devices that we can see and speak to people in real time anywhere in the world.

^Do you mean "defer"?

Tesla was sadly ahead of his time and shows that mainstream science wasn't ready for the challenges he presented his learned peers with.

Thanks for the exponential graph, Cyberdad: so interesting! My friend will enjoy seeing that.

^Ah OK thanks for explaining why you meant deflect. Writing, reading, Scrabble, crosswords, linguistics and etymology are all interests of mine. I thought you meant you intended to defer to Gary McKinnon's opinion on something. I checked the definition of deflect before writing the post, but wasn't sure that's what you had meant in your previous post. No offence intended or taken!

Words, and the intention behind them, are always fascinating. People often use the incorrect words, but I have noticed that people on the higher end of the spectrum almost never do this and have an almost compulsive desire to use spelling, grammar and meaning correctly.

You don't necessarily need someone's permission to defer to their musings / opinion about something, as these might be a matter of public record; something they're on an expert on and have written or spoken about. For instance I could defer to an expert's opinion - perhaps Michio Kaku, on a question about dark energy. His actual input on a thread here, would not be needed if we can find a link to something he had written or said.

Good grief,
Charlie brown.
This thread is giving me headaches.
