The consensus runs like this:   
  
        "Truth is my doxy; Fallacies are your doxy."  
  
Variation runs like this:  
  
        "My doxies are mainstream and therefore right; yours are sidestream  
and therefore have been rejected by learned and right-thinking people - many  
of whom published definitive refutations in Bulgarian or Uzbek in the  
well-known debates over the Tsannov-Popovitsky Equation."  
  
        3rd Variation:  
  
        "Your propositions may be good economics, but will never play in  
Peoria."
