Final words...
Anyone out there read "the Black Swan" yet by N.N.Taleb? Interesting read about logical errors that are often made with tragic results even by the professionals.
When I hear this kind of sweeping absolute statement, I laugh:
This cannot be done.
That's proven.
Bypassing the Maginot line through the Ardennes , Aviation, Flying a manned mission to the moon, nuclear fission - the list goes on. Just because some people can't understand something doesn't mean that the case is proven that it can't be done, or is not feasible.
Even when you demonstrate clearly that there is something quite powerful around this, it is never enough for the small band of fanatics.
What I have yet to see on this thread from that camp are sensible measured discussion points based on the work in question in depth. The evidence is there about one portion of a large work. Like Sails, I can't even contemplate trying to assume the mantle of being an "expert" in all aspects of a lifetimes work. I've delved into what I can on many fronts including EW, and I'm still learning.
I have attempted to intelligently make a case for quite a few years now. It is up to each individual to do the due diligence and decide for themselves. No amount of mind game playing is going to influence me to change my thinking.
Cold hard logic and reality will continue to be my guide. I hope this example will provide inspiration for the people out there with inquiring minds, and give them some fortitude to ignore the "myopic inquisition".
