"... your argument makes no sense... the anti-war stuff is driven by emotion and sentiment, no scientific method can elucidate it to a degree that will allow for the transcending of history, so why you dwell on it is beyond me since your main issue seems to be with matters of scientific method concerning 'certainty'... but our whole tradition of scientific inquiry is based on a healthy skepticism towards avowals of absolute truth... failure is fundamental to the game... so again, what's the point of your argument? That regardless of levels of expertise and sophistication and subtlety humans still manage to do stupid things? Ok... but I think we're all pretty clear on that one..."
