Is anybody really surprised by any position taken by 15?
What's surprising is the amount of time otherwise reasonable people have devoted to his arguments. (I include myself in this group.)
Fifteen has found a niche on AF that no one else seems to fulfill: he is a unifying force among those who might otherwise be arguing amongst themselves on one point or another.
(This is a powerful gift. If we could only get him to negotiate a middle east peace, I think we might actually see the Palestinians and Israelis come to some agreement. Of course as the price for such a deal, the US would have to nuke Olmypia, WA., but that's a risk I'm willing to take.)
In addition, any appraiser, no matter the appraiser's tenure, experience, or education, can read 15's posts and walk away feeling like a rocket scientist. That's no small feat.
Lastly, 15's posts act like a compass. No matter how confused one may be on any given issue, one need only poll 15's opinion, then run like hell in the opposite direction!
