DAVID: Pulling rank: As a medical physician, trained in understanding how cells work in the human body, and presuming logically that they have the same automatic attributes in single-celled organisms, I won't change.-dhw: You can pull rank on me with all your presumptions, but not on the professional biologists who disagree with you. One of them won the Nobel Prize for her discovery of genetic transposition, so try pulling rank on her.-DAVID: Like I said previously, you fell for her hyperbole.-Her conclusion, like that of Margulis, Shapiro, Buehler and others, is perfectly straightforward: cells are sentient, cognitive, intelligent beings in their own right. There is no hyperbole. Either these researchers are right or they are wrong. Like you said previously, 50/50.
