BTW, the basic law of the universe is that I frequently have a minority view, not that I'm rarely right. So the law that got violated was that there were people supporting my position before the results of the code or other emperical results (e.g. the effect that averaging has on Selective Availability, or that the Taliban could be dislodged from Kabul from the air, without needing a large influx of foreign troops) were actually made publicly available. I'm more used to waiting for the screams of protest, waiting for the poor logic, waiting for the opportunity to expose the poor logic, waiting for the abuse, waiting for the emperical evidence, waiting in vain for the mumbled apologies, then waiting for the inevitable moving of goalposts. People keep telling me that the repeated occurrences are a sign that this must be something that I am doing wrong, but they persistently fail to point to the step in that sequence that was in any way my fault. Reminds me of this woman: http://zombietime.com/fraud/#unluckiestwoman which someone had photoshopped against one of those Greek/Roman ruins "oh no, they've destroyed my acropolis". (can't find the real thing). BFN. Paul.
