I agree with Bo that Scott has beautifully expressed one of the central
principles of the MOQ, namely, "There is no division into internal and
external reality." This, of course, is anathema to the science faithful.
Anyone in the scientific community expressing such a belief would be
promptly excommunicated--a victim of the "no infidels allowed effect."
The sinner would join those who hint at a possible supernatural force at
work in the universe.
No wonder society is in trouble. Values verboten.
