Fear of this sort of reaction is probably why I didn't suggesty V.S. Ramachandrans and Sandra Blakeslee's "Phantoms of the brain". Probably a fairly stereotypical choice from myself and leaving myself open to similar accussations as above but a really good read, very interesting and I would challenge anyone not to at least be slightly fascinated by some of it.

Since when was an expression of dislike or not enjoying something not qualitative? I think I missed the point when likes and dislikes became universaly measured on a standard scale like. That and this line of arguement is needlessly pedantic.
