    Dear Dan,
    Please contemplate the following assertion:
    "Rush Limbaugh displays higher intellectual Quality than Noam Chomsky."

    1. Would you agree that any individual holding this view is arguably not
    evincing an adequate appreciation of what the MOQ would suggest intellectual
    Quality to be?

    2. If one adds to the above assertion a further assertion claiming the works
    of Noam Chomsky to be unworthy of intellectual investigation, would you agree
    that it is arguably fair to complain that some time should have been spent
    reading Chomsky before making the first assertion, it being understood that no
    works had been at all read?

    3. Further to 1 and 2, is it not unreasonable to suggest that the individual
    in question has adopted, and is currently employing an open strategy of
    avoiding challenging material, and is thus exhibiting a disregard for intellectual
    Quality while perversely claiming to uphold intellectual Quality?

    All the best,
    Mark
