Bless you for that compliment. 

Y'know, though, I think something else funny is going on here. Sagan is like 
Parade's resident scientific "sage"--his very name suggests sagacity. Like 
Marilyn Vos Savant, who does a "I know eveything, ask me this question" type 
column for Parade as well. She insists that "Vos Savant", which hints at 
various derivations of "savante", or knoweldgeable person (as in "idiot 
savante"), is her real name. Should we believe this? Are we looking at 
subliminal psuedonyms, designed to give a subtle boost to the confidence 
readers of Parade might put into the pronouncements of these two mouthpieces 
for mechanistic science? Is Sagan even real?
