So sorry:-)

Come to think of it, I don't recall any post of yours, regarding 
physics, that I would seriously disagree with.

I'll plead ignorance regarding GR.  Loved the topic when I was a 
graduate student, a quarter century ago, but had very little to with 
it since then (and there was lots of new work done in the field since 
then).  As for QM, I subscribe to the "shut up and calculate" 
interpretation or, if you prefer, to the belief that "until there are 
good solid reasons to adopt any specific interpretation, one should 
adopt no specific interpretation."
