The contemporary geist, as you put it, is quite often wrong about matters  
of diet and health (if it were not so, then dietary and fitness  
recommendations would seldom need to be changed).

Agreed.

It is also sensible to reject ideas which are unfounded, illogical, or  
which contradict evidence and experience -- regardless of whether those  
ideas came from a cave drawing or the latest state of the art science.

Agreed.  I have made this point before myself.

This wasn't addressed to me, but I'll respond anyway.  Age and experience  
are not offensive -- condescension is.

Oddly enough, I too practice a martial art, and am frequently called  
sensei, even by those who I consider much older and wiser than myself.  I  
don't take it personally.  ;-)
