Dear Komputer Korner,

I just read your statement.  I suggest that you haven't thought this
through very well, but perhaps you have.  Your statement seems to
indicate that you consider yourself an authority on this kind of
scientific research.  I consider the author more of an authority
than you must be, but that does not mean we cannot form our opinions
and in fact this is a natural process.

However, I do take exception with your style of presenting it.  You
presented this statement as a matter of fact.   Considering that
you call yourself "Komputer Korner", this magnifies any statement
you make like this, I suggest you try to be a little more objective
in light of this.

In my own opinion, your statement is probably not correct anyway, but
this is not really the point.  Even if it was, your statement lacks any
documentation whatsoever as to how you established this as a fact.
