All my conversations are open to anyone,so no apolgies required!

Hmmmm - I see your point. On the other hand, McKay went through withdrawal based (mostly) on a massive single dose, admittedly without brainwashing. Ford's first experience was also based on a single massive dose.

I think my complaint is that they *have* data points... they have *some* idea (or they should) and it seems a bit... lazy? that they keep saying otherwise.

So - it makes sense, but I'm not letting the writers off the hook cause I am just stubborn that way. *laughs*.

Thanks!
