- Well, Brian, what _are_ the symptoms of abduction? How do they differ from
- acting? And how does one control for acting ability? And if acting ability
- is all that is needed to convince any doctor about any symptom, ain't it
- time to call in the malpractice lawyers?
-
- Mack has consistently shown his biases and inadequacies, as well as his
- blindness to find real and testable psychological reasons for his
- patients' confabulations.
-
- The fact a single reporter, with minimal preparation IMHO (and no acting
- training...) was able to enter the Mack inner circle is testament only to
- his worthlessness, and not to any lack of control on the part of skeptics.
