Well, there was that science teacher not that long ago who tried to
convince Rob that the bigger a scorpion is, the more poisoneous it is.
He argued with her that the most poisonous scorpions are the tiniest
ones.  When she persisted in not believing him, Rob brought me in as
backup. She is still convinced she's right, because she's a science
teacher, and, therefore she *knows*, although she's actually wrong.  Rob
and I have studied scorpios, talked with experts (including those who
live in scorpion territory), and walked among them.
