Whilst I agree with your sentiments entirely, your last line made me
grin a little.



Agreed as well. I had to read that three times before I cottoned on to

makes a positive. IMHO I think a better sentence would have been: 'A
scientific point can be made without swearing'.

I hope no offence taken Martin.
