Hmm.... I don't recall ever asserting that RT is fully-formed.

Misconceptions? Misappropriations? Distractions? Bogus? I would, if it were even possible for you to formulate a reasonable answer, demand that you cite examples of such misconceptions, misappropriations and bogus distractions, and justify that they are indeed misconceived, misappropriated, or even distracting, if not also bogus, but it would be more likely to rain beer.

It is quite another to be willfully ignorant, but that seems to be an affliction that has reached epidemic proportions.
