Oh is that fair? Geoffrey didn’t say they are “Uncontroversial”. He wrote they are interesting. Indeed “such interesting”. I reckon being “such interesting” could be another way of saying controversial.........

Uncontroversial? What about the ethics of throwing out someone else's offspring and replacing it with your own, and then totally neglecting your kids, expecting someone else to do all the child-rearing work?
In short, koels are far from a safe, conversational topic ;-)
