RE: orion: Scholars and Others [was: Altman and Crowder]
Compare them for example with say Schliemann and then
following your position, is it better to be a scholar or to
be right?

By the criteria I laid out in my previous message, both are
trained,
competant scholars. To be a scholar is to have the
training and the
intellectual ability to participate in scholarship. To do
(publish)
scholarship is to enter into a debate or discussion with
other scholars.
To be a scholar does not necessarily make one "right."
