as i've stated repeatedly, it's ultimately up to you to determine the correctness of any information you come across, here or anywhere else. that's something that's changed, in the information age - the burden of proof has reversed, and it's now up to the reader to decide.

and, i invite you to analyze my arguments and writings and presentations, and send me corrections or clarifications if you feel they're justified.

i have no motives in being dishonest; i don't even have ads on the page. i'm really just posting rough notes for myself, and for the historical record. go to my bandcamp site if you want to send me money. 

if i agree with you, i'm happy to concede the point - i'm all about learning, i'm not going to pretend i'm right about something if i'm not, and i don't have a desire to post things that are wrong, or argue from false positions.

that said, i'm going to be wrong from time to time, too, i don't doubt that. so, make your case - send me corrections. prove me wrong. i await your discourse.

remember: i'm trying to debunk false claims in the media, more than anything else. i'm a fact checker, first and foremost. this is a space for brutal honesty, if nothing else - even if i get a few things wrong from time to time, like everybody else.

but, with the root vegetables and chitinase, that's pretty settled to be true; it's the usefulness of that truth that seems unestablished, in the context of aiding in human digestion of fungi.
