The disputes are about as fierce and insoluble as those between the little endians and big endians in "Gullivers Travels" who went to war over which was the correct end to open a hard boiled egg (big or little end). Any attempt to argue one's point of view on such a subject involves one in a "religious discussion" as it is impossible to "win" on a subject that has occupied vast numbers ofpeople for decades.
