            Also me. Just not today. The only consistent answers are education and TV.

            Of course you can validate your claim to tell someone their class, by telling them their class. But are you right?

                  Remember folks, this is sasguru talking here. Whatever answers you might supply him with will receive the same extrapolation and fudging techniques he applies to his flawed AGW theories. Expect to be told that, in most cases, your temperature will rise exponentially over the next few years if you do not downsize your car and fit a solar panel to the back of your neck.
