You know, I don't feel the need to talk to you anymore.

Right, and I'm asking you why we shouldn't, considering that he is one
of the world's top experts on sequential art.
I'd take Lonnie Thompson's word for what's important with respect to
glaciology.
This is what "a grain of salt" means,
that you should not swallow
someone's
opinion whole. It doesn't mean that you
should ignore their opinion
entirely.
Were you being ironically didactic, or do you actually think I didn't
understand you?

All right, I didn't know that. But the point
stands that experts in
their
fields routinely overestimate the importance of
their fields.
The point also stands that you're clearly assuming that if you don't
know about it (as you just showed you didn't) then it must not be
important or relevant. This is the fundamental stupidity at the heart
of the AFD problem.
