ABSTRACT
It would probably not be an exaggeration to say that I have encountered over a hundred objections against DA in the literature and in personal communication, many of them mutually inconsistent. Even merging those objections that use the same basic idea would leave us with dozens of distinct and often incompatible explanations of what is wrong with DA. The authors of these refutations frequently seem extremely confident that they have discovered the true reason why DA fails, at least until a doomsayer gets an opportunity to reply. It is as if DA is so counterintuitive (or threatening?) that people reckon that every criticism must be valid.
