Stuart, thanx your reply. Before you do, would ask you to think about
what YOU think? Do you believe in your own thoughts and opinions?
Or rather trust anothers judgement? To the detriment of your own?
Check out Milgrom and Bekenstein. Get back to me.
So many teachers are so locked in knowledge they learned in the past.
Their understanding is in stasis
Stuart, mean it, get back to me.
Nokton.
