So what you are telling us it that the recent "proof" of Fermat's last 
theorem was just a "convincing argument".

It seems to me that the usual method of proof on this mailing list and a 
lot of other network groups is the famous method of proof by 
intimidation.  When challenged just repeat the argument over again louder.

I. for one, would prefer a more rational method of argumentation on this 
list.  If a proposal that we are currently writing is successful I expect 
to have a lot of questions about firewalling networks in high schools to 
control access and it would be nice if this list would have a better 
signal to noise ratio when I need advice.
