ebola/crapola

[Marla Brunker]

	Thanks. I should have mentioned that part of what IS so
annoying about this "pop-science" jazz is that the real thing is NOT
that tough to understand. It does take a certain amount of patience to
get straight in your head say, why DNA viruses and RNA viruses have different
replication strategies, but it doesn't take any particular smarts. An
awful lot of most science education is rote learning, not analysis - learning
structures, concepts, language - so that when you get around to making these
conjectures on the subject, you're not reinventing the wheel.
	But again..IMO, any  literate person of normal intelligence can
learn to follow fancy-shmancy technical biomedical arguments, if he wants
to (and accepts that it can be kind of slow going at first). It's not a kabbala.
