Cecil, the interest in this group is what is incorrect not what is
correct.
There is many a poster you is willing to deride but very few that
stand up for reasons why.
Why else would one have a thread on a problem that over 300 posts were
made that does not finish with an orderly solution.? It is because
derision overcomes reasonable thought.
I suspect that the CFA situation continues because most are resting on
empirical results where as an in depth study using known principles
may well provide answers both good and bad but does not take place
because of resistance to change and 'all is known'
And ofcourse there is that famous fighting cry of the couch potato who
states it is not my job
demanding solutions must be brought to him.
