Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: The Ultimate QoD Challenge -- Week 7, Wednesday
The five who played this round managed to get a few points on the board.
Grid 1:
ALEXANDER | ATLAS | BELL | CARVER
COOKIE | DAWSON | GUY | HAYS
HERB | JENNER | JULIUS | LITTLE
MASON | MORSE | WAGSTAFF | ZIP
Lots of inventors, famous Richards, and jars in this grid. It probably shouldn't surprise you that the perfect solution included none of those categories.
1. GUY | HAYS | MORSE | ZIP
_____ code. The Hays Code concerned censorship in motion pictures between the 1930s-1960s.
2. ALEXANDER | COOKIE | HERB | JULIUS
Characters in the comic strip Blondie. Julius is Mr. Dithers' first name.
3. BELL | CARVER | LITTLE | WAGSTAFF
These were also fictional characters, but in something a little darker than a comic strip.
Characters on "The Wire". Stringer Bell, Ellis Carver, Omar Little, and Randy Wagstaff.
4. ATLAS | DAWSON | JENNER | MASON
I would have doubled over if anybody had spotted this category.
Craters on the Moon.
Grid 2:
BRASS | CHARLESTON | ESCAPE | FOXTROT
GOULASH | HAWK | OSCAR | POCKET
PONG | RED DRAGON | SHOGUN | TANGO
TWIST | WATUSI | WHIRLWIND | WHISKEY
The dances were obvious, but not in the perfect solution.
1. FOXTROT | OSCAR | TANGO | WHISKEY
Everybody got this one. Letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet.
2. BRASS | HAWK | POCKET | TWIST
Charles Dickens characters. Sampson Brass, Sir Mulberry Hawk, Matthew Pocket, and the famous Oliver Twist.
3. ESCAPE | SHOGUN | WATUSI | WHIRLWIND
Things written by James Clavell.
4. CHARLESTON | GOULASH | PONG | RED DRAGON
