No, That's my way of saying that the entire thing is bunk.

He works on the assumption that will, and should, never expand out from this planet. That alone makes it bullshit.

You're pathetic. I can recommend two books for you:

Interstellar Migrations and the Human Experience

Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization.

Taking into account the information contained in those two books, you'll find that the authors' extrapolations in no way obviate the theories in Daly's paper. And you are still failing to point out the bullshit. I've read both the above books, so if you want to engage in the argument about the potential for a human diaspora out into space, we can. But before you earn that right, I suggest you try somewhat harder in providing an analysis of why Daly's paper is 'bunk', as you put it.
