I think provoking discussion on the key points is a good thing for sure. I just don't see that as what is going on here. No real hard points were firmly made during the interview besides the idea of secular vs. religious. I also didn't see it so much as Marzuli trying to manipulate an answer, I seen it as trying to setup a point and being stuck on the setup do to an unwillingness to theorize. It was like a general, almost rhetorical question that wound up stumping the conversation. I seen this as a clash of bias which likely shouldn't occur in most interviews.

Now to clarify though, I'm not trying to trash the interviewing skills of the Paracast by any means. While I think there is obviously areas that could use improvement, that can be said for any interviewing platform. Obviously if I didn't find the Paracast interviews and the style of those interviews informative and enlightening, I wouldn't be listening. I just think in this particular case, it didn't provide any real information which is unfortunate because Marzuli usually does bring some insights to the discussion both from a philosophical point of view and with some hard data as well. I also don't fault the breakdown to one side of the discussion, it just didn't work out due to methods imployed by both sides.

[QUOTE="aNorthernSoul, post: 66733, member: 1698"] I think provoking discussion on the key points is a good thing for sure. I just don't see that as what is going on here.
