Robert,

There was one guy who posted the following:

The key of course is that he a novice and still open-minded.

I do sometimes wonder what I would do if someone proved in my eyes  
that paleo was wrong, and that there was some other basis for the  
ideal human diet.  And I guess I would have to change my opinions - I  
mean if all that fat DOES cause heart disease (ho ho), I'd rather  
admit I was wrong than die of a heart attack at 40.

As it stands, the evidence, both scientific and anecdotal/common- 
sense is overwhelming.  So I'm right and they're wrong :D
