Not quite. Obviously, no bells are going off. Thanks for playing.

It will be, once chimpanzees develop writing or montage and became
germane to the conversation.

Or, as you did with Clark's post earlier this morning, you are likely
to mischaracterize the incoming information and respond with a
pre-written & recycled dump of your vast-yet-haphazard learning, which
has a relationship with the original argument that is orthogonal at
best, which accomplishes nothing in the way of communication but does
I suppose give you a sense of being far beyond us mere educated
people, since we of course never thought of all this irrelevant
material. This is such common behaviour on the part of Internet
Cranks(tm) that I'm amazed I'm bothering to participate in this.
