Hi Minionman
Thanks for the link. I had not read that particular article before, and much enjoyed it.
David Brin is one of my favourite science fiction authors. The 'What If' worlds he has made range from light-hearted (The Practice Effect) to serious (Glory Season) to grim (Earth).
He makes some good points in that article, mainly along the lines of "Critical Thinking is a Good Thingâ¢", even in the books you read for pleasure.
