Not to argue but Sorry Super again your way off base. Are you saying that I don't have much formal education or perhaps a poor one at best, that I believe formal education is of no use? Pretty brash comments. I have to say that your analogy's across the board as well as your conclusions show a lack of both education and experience with regards to the biological world and it's accompanying politics. You might want to strive to increase your understanding of both before directing judgmental criticism at those who are far more educated and experienced then you in these areas.

Dr Rodda , presented maps that he admited were complied with few facts and a of lot of guess work. Lets look further at a couple of statements.

"Keep in mind that Python molurus occurs in extremely arid areas of Pakistan (both the Lower Indus Valley and Upper Indus Valley, but not the middle Indus!)" Dr. Rodda

After review he first claims knowledge of molurus over a broad range in Pakistan then backs it up with ,

"There are some pretty big unknowns out there; for example, we have very little accurate information on the range of P. molurus in Pakistan or west central China." Dr Rodda

He then draws the conclusion that Python molurus occurs in extremely arid areas of Pakistan . Maybe you can explain why Dr Rhodda`s conclusion is incorrect .Lets look at his formula ,

A. Molurus in found in the Indus Valley .
B. The Indus Valley has hot temperatures and little rain fall
A B the pythons live in the desert !

Dr. Rhodda would be the first to tell you he did not investigate many important factors but that didn't stop him from turning in his project map along with a companion map that is basically a fiction piece as a completed project. This statement from him " Python molurus occurs in extremely arid areas of Pakistan " is one he presented in his defense when the validity of poorly conceived work came into question. The above formula is what he deemed rationalized.


" all through school they learn to debate?? Either you didn't go to school, or you went to a bad one!! I'm an engineer, and ALL my teachings where about science, and utilizing facts, and applying them, not "debating" everything. " SuperDave

I guess Dr Rhodda also went to a bad school .
