I wasn't trying to be smug, I was just saying that if something were harmless, that wouldn't make it any more correct. Not that I think the Koran can be meaningfully called 'harmless' anyway. And not that I particularly care.

I'm not that interested in social science or what it's labelled as. It's a science as far as it meets the criteria of scientific endeavour. More generally as long as it strives to meet the criteria of rationality, I'm fine with it.
