Glyphosate is considered an organophosphate..that is
where they make the stretch.

I guess I should have made myself a bit clearer :-)) While it may well be
a derivative of phosphoric acid and therefore technically considered an
organophosphate, it does not display any anticholinesterase activity
which removes it from discussions regarding the potential neurotoxic
effects of true organophosphates like malathion and chlorpyrifos. Even
the EPA and EXTOXNET do not list it within the chemical class of
organophosphates.The OP's statement was a little like saying that since
bicycle riding without a helmet can lead to brain injuries, ANY bicycle
riding without a helmet WILL lead to brain injuries - it simply isn't
that direct a corollary.
