This jibes with my long standing conviction that when dealing with MAGATs, rebutting them with facts does no good (that part is well known to the point of cliche). You have to counter with NARRATIVE that embodies those facts. And narrative is not the same as plot. In a narrative plot combines with character to present a convincing story. Glad to see that Aftab realized this and achieved such success.

A fun, informative post, David.
