"the funny thing about" your comment, Toulouse, is this: "If you value clear thought, use some rigour in your thinking" directed at COMMENTERS, but not the Minister of Science.  "...you don't understand there is a problem..."  OK, but let's make sure that problem is identified properly, otherwise we "address" the wrong one--which is often worse.  

Not to say that your own arguments are necessarily wrong or inaccurate.  It's just that they need to be directed to the Minister herself.  As many posters are suggesting.
