Re: Proponents, Opponents, Observers

think there are 3 groups in any argument: The proponents of a new model, the opponents who defend the existing model, and the observers who sit on the sidelines and watch..

There's 4 groups. There's also the ones that think "Hmm maybe they have a point, let's have a look". but they get shouted down by the oppenents for not opposing. And the proponents for doubting.
