	Yes, I know it was snide. And you may believe that I am a
blockhead if you wish. But if _Back to Godhead_ contains lots of
things that seem silly, then one might be tempted to come up with some

	But try looking at the Moon through a small telescope sometime
and see if it looks like "cosmic fire".

	See? I _did_ address a relevant issue.
