obviously have strong feelings
about it.

Do you actually think that just using it means DICK can even begin
to understand how it works? The whole point of what has been said
was that DICK managed to use both PSK31 and CW, and yet is not
sufficiently aware of communications theory that his comparisons
of the two modes are easily demonstrated to be invalid.

His answer, which he has repeated several times now, was that
Shannon doesn't apply the anything about Amateur Radio.

At that point, what choice does one have but to write DICK off as
so ill informed that he should be totally ignored.
