   Still trolling?   
      
   If you weren't a known troll, I might be inclined to ask how science   
   resurrected Wagener and gave him the honors he was due for his work.   
      
   Oh, wait. They didn't -- and wouldn't have had they been able to.   
      
   This is about /persecution/, not about argumentation.   
      
   But, since you are a known troll, I say: never mind.
