political correctness in biology?

[Bill Shear]

I think Ken Kinman is grossly exaggerating the influence of Carl Woese.
For most of us, Woese's views (and Kinman's) are simply not very relevant.
Of course, it's natural to think of those things that concern one most as
being of world-shaking significance.  Very rarely is that really the case.
