Barry Bonds claimed his place as the all-time home run leader, debates over the significance of the feat in baseball's steroids era continue to generate more heat than light.
How to end all the fractiousness for reasoned discussion?
One approach might be simply eliminating 10 stale themes from the conversation: We have heard some arguments, pro and con, far too often, and with what result? Certainly not enlightenment.

1. Projection
2. Selective indignation
3. Demonization.
4. Short-Term Memory
