I agree with that last statement - and we can take it a step further.

Each description can do things that the other one can't; no argument
about that. But in cases where both descriptions should be valid, then
they *must* agree.

This is a basic cross-check that should always be applied... but
regrettably isn't.

Hi Ian,

Perhaps in this immediate thread. However, I have demonstrated both
sides coming to the same conclusions several many times, and one
example as recently as within this last week.

This issue is not about being right, it is about ego foremost else why
all the debate? Hank has asked a fairly straightforward question
with rather simple terms he could accept as a compelling case. To
this point (some 22 entries) that has been largely abandoned with each
scribbler answering their own imagining of how to discover the
philosopher's stone.

I haven't been here terribly long, maybe 6 weeks, but I have noticed
that your comment applies to around half of the threads longer than 4 or
so comments.

A better ratio than many newsgroups, and people seem to have a sense of
humor, which a lot of other newsgroup's participants decidedly do not.
So, all in all, it could be worse.

That's very true, Tom. Even with the egos, the civility level is
pretty high in here. Of course that is probably why the fringe elements
don't hang out here.
