    So when faith is questioned, I'll stand up and be counted.

    Your faith has not been questioned.

    And you are reading things that aren't being said. I never said...

    A marker is not valid if it only applies to some of the population. It is not reliable if it does not predict what it purports to, or does...

    Why not? Because this is not a forum about religion, and (as you now seem to agree) because religious faith has nothing to do with competence as a DBA.

    And...

    Therefore, even the author is not stating that faith and participation in ones religion is always a marker of maturity.
