    You have got to be kidding! 

    In the face of overwhelming evidence of thousands of artifacts made
    in silver and surviving hundreds years of use, with the most 
exquisite
    detailing, a statement like that make one wonder. 

    Is that one of those when you type something, hit enter, and only
