I wish the authors of science textbooks could be induced to 
leave off amateur attempts at philosophy and stick to what they 
know. My high school biology text had some blather about how 
parasites were superior to human beings. The fallacy inherent 
in that-that we are the ones making the value judgments, not 
the parasites-was obvious to me at the time, but unfortunately 
the authors were not available in person to point that out to.
