He thought there was a barcode reader in 1963?!

Yeah, zip codes have been around since before he was born. I was saying "Ask the audience! Ask the audience!" But he didn't. Nice try, Terry -- you tried to save him.

Sigh, 1963 was quite a while ago.

My second job was putting prices on groceries, a job later made obsolete by bar codes.

We know what Wrigley's gum has to do with barcodes
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.

ZIP codes have been around a while - that's why the 1963 date was important. I guess he missed that.
