Eric ... | Quote | | Dave, I defy you to find a quote (and quote the damned thing, don't make us do a search through the whole thread, don't be so freaking lazy) where I or anyone else here ever denied that a flagellum is a motor. You can't do that, can you? Sure, plenty of people (including me) denied that a baterial flagellum looks anything like the picture of the electric motor you posted, because it doesn't look anything like it. But no one has ever denied that a flagellum is a motor. |
Uh ... OK. The easiest example is on this same page ... Deadman ... | Quote | | A flagellar "motor" is not a "real" motor in the sense of an inorganic AC or DC motor, it's analogous to one, vaguely, but it is certainly not one. |
Retractions, please? You and Mr. Wells I believe?
I think Russell said it too a while back, but I'm not going to go chase it down.
