>He's advocating debate rather than contradiction. Which actually is a good strategy most of the time unless you are a lawyer. ;-) I don't believe he is saying that you aren't allowed to question a Nobel prizewinner at all, he's suggesting that if they're commenting in their awarded area of expertise then simply to attack their conclusions is a bit antisocial since it stifles reasoned discussion.
I agree with that, but it is NOT what he wrote. Your statement above is nothing close to what he wrote.
