I tend to agree with this.
Going after the "Organic" crowd is kind of like going after the
Amish, people who believe something at the religious layer of the
OSI model are a very tough case, and a museum quality minority at
best.
It would be better to focus your attack at a weak link in the
theory. In the case of the organic crowd (or even moderates) Bio-
tech products like "RoundUp" corn or even "bt" corn are non-
starters, but golden rice, with it's potential to prevent blindness
in millions would give many pause, and cause others to lose some
sleep.
