I wouldn't say I'm getting frazzled, but I see your point. Of course, now you find yourself in my position...being liable for accusations of "frazzlery" simply for pointing out the act in others.

I'd say that lying implies he is intentionally misleading people, but I haven't yet read a good argument justifying that claim. If anything, he is just wrong about why his method works, despite the fact that it does work. I'd say there is just as good of a chance, or more so, that Nick believes what he is teaching is true. If that is the case, then at worst he is just misguided...not necessarily a charlatan.

That doesn't sound like someone who is "encouraging" my opposing point of view. Nevertheless, this marks my third response in a 15-page discussion -- the "moving on comment" might be a little premature when applied to myself, but to others, not so much. Aside from some of the interesting biology posted by the OP, I hardly see this discussion amounting to much more than youthful angst and the accompanying desire to stand against something, anything.

But I digress
