I got a major award today (plaque, not a sexy leg-lamp) for my "staunch defense of USNO's interests" in a project I'm working on

Thanks, you are right. I was lazy to read it and too sure about my right with a bit of arrogance. I am Sorry. At least now we know.

And maybe you should actually read the articles you cite and stop acting like snotty little child when challenged... especially when those articles you're sharing DIRECTLY refute the very the claim you've been making. For convenience, here's the bit I found most relevant from your citation (emphasis mine): You can read more for yourself here: https://kinseyinstitute.org/pdf/Infidelity in hetero couples.pdf

A mysterious Pink Lake can be found in Western Australia, Lake Hiller. It’s startling colour remains a mystery and while scientists have proven it’s not due to the algae, they still can’t explain while the lake is Pink. A stunning natural phenomena, worth a visit and a place on our bucket list.. from Wiki.... The vibrant colour is permanent, and does not alter when the water is taken in a container. The pink colour is believed to be due to the presence of the organism, Dunaliella salina.[4] The Extreme Microbiome Project, part of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF), Metagenomics Research Group (MGRG), has performed a metagenomic analysis on the lake to find Dunaliella as well as Salinibacter ruber, Dechloromonas aromatica, and a few species of the Archaea.[5]

Car washing, and living in states with an "A" in them? Hmm, not so much. It may be called the same thing, but the Chinese and Mexican food in California are very different from the Chinese and Mexican food in either Texas or Florida. We all hate intolerance, and the Swiss. ... at some point over the last 45 years.

No harm, no foul ✌️

That is NOT my position. My position is that sport is wonderful (I've said so) that sport is a good way to deflect aggression into harmless competition (I said so in my first response) that sport is a healthy outlet for frustration, a great way to build strength, stamina and co-ordination. Sport, particularly team sport, is good training for children to learn rules, co-operation, self-control and how to cope with disappointment. It's a primitive but reliable assessment of adolescent males for their status in a masculine hierarchy (if you must have those) and an even better means of bolstering the confidence of adolescent females. It's also fun, both to participate in and to watch. A home team inspires loyalty and pride of community. I may have left some stuff out, but the main theme here is that sport is wonderful (I've said that already). What's bad is commercializing it, turning it into a spectacle, exploiting athletes and driving them to self-destructive behaviours in pursuit of winning, isolating them, wrecking their childhood and social life, idolizing them and commodifying them at the same time. What's wrong is turning a joyful leisure activity that everyone should enjoy into a profession and a business. That's wrong.

Didn’t dig that deep since the topic is not that interesting (already known by empirical evidence) but have fun: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21667234/ maybe you should give a list of publishers you accept to make it easy.
