.... to murmur my standard insertion in all discussions of this sort. Viz, that it's probably NotQuite Time Yet to start saying that Anything *Izz* (the result of ) Anything.... (I can't make machine insert "not-worthy" smiley here followed by "Hume.")

I'd like to refer the company to Robert Koch's whaddyecall'em = (Rules? Postulates?) about determining the 'causes" of "diseases". His "rules" are hard-thought and strict; and I'd like to offer that we-all would do-well to emulate (What extinct flightless birds do?) his "hardness" & strictness...... You-all can/should look those up.
Meanwhile, I'll offer also (as "ad nauseam") my standard murmur, that if/since the (human) BodyMind is ONE THING, ergo.... Ergo, I mean to say, ALL human events, processes,...
stuff ARE "physiological.".... (how boring for you-all to have to listen to a skeptic.)

You mean Koch's Postulates? They would indeed be useful -- if homosexuality were a disease caused by a pathogen. However, I'm not aware of any evidence that homosexuality is caused by a pathogen.

I absolutely apologise for having muddied the waters at this thread by referring to Koch's Postulates (Thanks , Person-previous.) I did NOT MEAN that murmur to invoke Koch, >>>to make what you appear to have inferred of my post. My only reason for invoking KOCH was to request that we-all here at this thread, and at EyeEye generally, may do-well to adopt that sort of STRICTNESS (of Koch's in-general, for example) when we are trying to thrash-out matters of etiology., and/or many other sorts of undecided matters we discuss here. I was talking about *thinking-practises*, okay?

I (FOR SURE!) had no intention whatever of implying that "homosexuality" (which may not be a REAL entity at all. You Know!) is any sort of pathogenic disease entity. NO! NO! Oi OI, mea culpa....
Why don't we discuss "Why are people 'normal'?" (another unexplored & unverified human concept) Yguy want to tell us what 'normal' means? and how do you recognize "it"? Start a new thread! Abe
