but not relevant.


Hi Ian,

Look at the subject line above. Everything reported by me responds
directly to it. I notice you have nothing relevant to add in that
regard.

To this point NO ONE has responded to the data, nor to the
authoritative citations. It would be more useful for you folks to
point out error rather than simply arm-chair your way through this
with denial. To this point NO ONE has offered any synopsis of my
error in method. Such close examination appears to be confined to
re-evaluations of the CFA which lack both, and thus make a more
amusing target that does not test anyone's skill beyond debate. In
the words of Ho Chi Minh: "Paper Tigers."

Also to this point, the only "critics" have been those with a voiced
interest in not assigning a value to Source Z, but again demonstrating
a more than ample capacity to arm-chair their way through byzantine
explanations of what it is "not." Bench work seems to be anathema,
however I do enjoy the zen-cartwheels being performed, thanks.

If I were to offer this with the infinite regress of Cecil's logic,
hide my data, and embellish my method, you would all be compounding
this thread to 600 entries. I don't play that game, sorry to
disappoint you fellows, but I don't write to entertain (even if I can
do it better than you without really trying - sometimes, like now,
opportunity begs). The repetition of data, like denial, is not
debate, so I am satisfied to post real bench work once, and pull paper
tails until that goes stale.

I am particularly amused by protestations that examination of data is
not worth anyone's time, but offering editorialization is. :-)
Clearly most of you should take more pleasure in your amusing
recreations.

You guys worry this out of all proportion, you act like this is
especially important and it certainly seems to set your teeth on edge.
As many would point out, this is only a hobby; it's not like your job
is on the line, or that you have to meet a customer's expectation. :-)
