Well, since you seem to love Dr. Hererro, you might wan to actually read him (he was one of those I was referencing earilier):
That's about as kindly as I can put it...
Jayzus, Sunshine... get over yer hurt feelers and move on...
I studied under Herrero. Trust me, of any of the emotions one can have for a perfesser, "love" ain't one I EVER felt for him. But I do respect him, and I've read just about everything he's written on bear ethology, so don't try to take me to school.
You've got a reference to a peer-reviewed credible paper that supports your "overwhelming evidence" assertion about the superiority of bear spray over firearms, I'd love to read it. Herrero's opinions, such as the one you quoted in your post, do NOT trump the work that Herrero and his co-researchers, and others, have put out in the literature that DO NOT support a significant superiority of bear spray over firearms. (6% might be "statistically significant", but in my book as an outdoorsman that don't cut the mustard...)
As for putting it kindly, put it in a pipe and smoke it.
