I'm interested in showing that those who DO have geology degrees are grotesquely mistaken when they say that sedimentary rock layers were laid down over millions and millions of years by the same well-understood processes which are in operation today (the present is the key to the past) ... |

Indeed. Actually, not "speaking the language" is as apt an analogy as any.
I'm natively fluent in English, and will debate in English (or even debate its proper usage) with any native English speaker. I could get by pretty well with French in either France or Quebec (even know how to adjust accordingly), but would know to ask for clarification (in French) and would accept correction graciously from its native speakers. I might even be able to eek out an existence in (tee hee) Portugal, based on its Latin roots. Put me in China and I wouldn't know where to begin (but I probably wouldn't start by demanding they all speak English instead).
That's where Dave is. China. And he don't speak no Chinese. So he's busily demanding (in English, no less) that the entire country switch to the revealed truth of English because he can't find the fucking bathroom. The inevitable result is, of course, that Dave will shit his pants. Repeatedly. As he has.
Dave, you really stink by this point.
