While modernity's cult of specialization is dear to the heart's of north
Americans, among highly educated peoples of Europe, the Middle and Far East
is bespeaks a paucity of intellectual fortitude. In traditional learned
cultures, one is expected to apply intellectual prowess to far more than
specializations resulting in encapsulated, paradigmatically limiting views.
Furthermore, the career of a Pauling bespeaks of ongoing research
accomplishment.

I didn't know of a set of "paleo rules" - accordingly, there must be a
subset of Paleo oriented persons rendering Paleo compatible with the
ramblings of The Flat Earth Society! Frankly, such a view is intellectual
rubbish, not at all befitting open inquiry and scientific development. 

The claim "processed supplements are viewed as non-Paleo" is likewise
rubbish, requiring qualification expressed as "some Paleo adherents
believe..." A cursory review of salient literature invalidates specious
claims implying "all Paleo adherents..." Most likely because Paleo is an
incomplete science as well as beset with a variety of orientations, some
obviously in disagreement while all stimulating to the imaginations of free
thinking people.
