Your quote from Richard Feynman made me smile. You share that mental capacity for thorough and exacting analysis of the point(s) in question while maintaining a quiet sense of humor. Staying true to the precepts of scientific investigation in highly controversial and emotionally charged issues is daunting. It's a challenge to keep up with you!
When I read your writing I often think of this quote from Thich Nat Hanh:
