I stand on what I posted.

Your 'criticisms', quoted below, would
only have validity if everything was already
known.

While Humanity is short of that mark, it's
not only 'appropriate' to add connections
within scientific discourse, if one can, one
is Obliged to do so.

Science differes from 'social-correctness'
in this way.
