I'll bet that as you grow older, get out of high school, get out of college, that you learn just how much you have left to learn. What you are describing is utter nonsense, I've explained why it is utter nonsense. But unless you would care to cite your degrees that give you the right to tell either Dave or myself that "we have no knowledge of correct scientific investigative technique" I'd suggest you drop that line of attack, because you look like an idiot when you try such. You've got a *long* way to go before you will be qualified to make such a statement to either of us. >> >>It doesn't matter that opponents of Jeff wouldn't try for a Scholar's mate >>against any grandmaster, it becomes 'standard play' against Jeff because it is >>successful. >> > >Not even applicable It is perfectly applicable.
