Really what I was doing was pointing the way to someone who understands the issues far better than I do. That's not a sign of arrogance, but a sign of humility on my part.

I take it as a way of avoiding difficult questions.
How can anyone accurately debate the points you are attempting to raise? You can't really expect them to get these books, read, evaluate, and then come back and respond.
While identifying the sources of your ideas is good, your failure to explain them is frustrating.
