Unfortunately, I have only my memory to tell me that I wrote that in the
present, but I do know that I am writing this in the present, thus it
exists. :-) But this is more than semantics: causality, as normally
understood, implies that one event (the cause) precedes another (the
effect), so that a temporal sequence is implicit in all science. I hesitate
to assert that any argument to the contrary is sophistry. :-)
