The quote itself is pretty self-explanatory, so I don't think it warrants the kind of convoluted exegesis that you attempted in your comments. It seems to me like you've been trying to attack Crichton's argument from different angles but are either unwilling or uncapable of giving a coherent rebuttal. If that was never your aim from the start, then I apologise for "blocking" you. After re-reading all your comments, I'm not sure what kind of conversation you were trying to create...
