I have neither interest and time nor reason to study such
materials for the purpose of the present discussion. Should
I also first study some novels and plays of reknown authors
in order to discuss with you?? Fo you happen to know Occam's
Razor?? It's your job in formal discussions on scientific
topics to formulate your points in clear, plain simple
English, in particular when your partners are not natives.

That's a horrible way of writing something for a sci.*

ever coming up with the idea of writing in that manner,
if I were you.

If you are unable to anwser the two very plain clear-cut
and simply interpretable questions, then this clearly
shows that you couldn't argue because you are wrong in
what you previously wrote in that thread. Any general
readers could readily see that!!
