Do not ignore the truth of the message because you (and we all) do not
like the like the lifestyle of the messenger. Pythagoras' theorem is
a central truth to much of mathematics and science, and the truth of
Einstein's science has withstood the test of time and been subject to
much experimental verification. So what exactly is your point -- ignore
the truth because you do not like its source?
