HHDL: "My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims."

Agreed, Greg is infallible. But I heard a rumour, a friend of my uncle's sister told me, that's he's actually selling bootleg retsina for a living. Tsk tsk.
