Daniel Jackson was lecturing to like five people in a hotel lobby at the start of the movie. He was a known crank. He just happened to be right.

Ah, okay my bad. Whatched that movie 10+ years ago and that's how I've remembered it.

you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can't exactly remember. It's ok to be wrong though we won't hold it against you :-)

Oh absolutely, and I'll happily admit it. I know almost nothing about SG, but then again I have some strong opinions about christianity without having read the work of fiction they base their whole lives around.

I just remember that your mother should stone you to death, if you wear clothing woven from two types of fabric or sth along those lines. Who cares about details of a mediocre work of fiction?

And the military not even consulting a real scientist makes its antiinterlectualism worse lol
