That's my point exactly! You criticize the position that astrology is subject to scientific investigation, yet you dare not come out and say it isn't.
Where did I criticize the position that astrology is subject to scientific investigation? Please provide quotes from me that support your assertion.

Has reading comprehension always been a problem with you or is this just a recent phenomenon?
