Just because you are so nice here a little test. I write what I would also write
to a scientist, but you [in the role of the author of the quoted message!] can't
be one, because of the many mistakes. Of course you could be someone else with a
specific agenda. Then you will take offense although your role game is _your_
game without that I had a way to understand it. So, I prefer to take "you"
naively as a layman. Always being aware that sort of expert could well be
behind. Here is what I would write to a very talented kid. Note if it would be a
scientist, "Jonas" would not have made so many mistakes. Here we go.

Funny again, you teach me. But suggestions of that level are bit naive and if
the intention of ordering wouldn't exist behind you _then_ would have renounced
to give it at all.

Yes, you have many points. One was that I should adopt a better self-reflection
about my intentions and the possibly best methods to get people into attention
mode. I told you that I had no direct interests for such an optimalization mode.
Instead of doing some research on that information you present a false
interpretation of teaching. Because teachers do teach and they could well teach
even if they were aware that they could teach 1) different stuff and 2) in
different ways. BTW the best teacher is completely aware of this. But to my
surprise you say that if you are not sure then you can't teach at all, what you
in fact always did although you write that this were impossible...

Therefore the repeated use of the term "funny".

Here we have the next misunderstanding. It's pointing to a general weakness. The
meaning of my very simple phrase is: I [Rolf] say that what you [Jonas] tell me
"something that is important" "for a spin doctor". And here below I continue
"I'm not such a spin doctor." If I wanted to know if I had a GM as opponent or a
dumb computer then a3 and h3 [DJ sensational moves] would give me the necessary
informations.

Nope. It is something else. Guess what? I am not so easily confused. While you
seem to talk about something you only know from hear-say.

If I ever needed a proof then this is it. You must go back to START again. But I
won't tell you the solution this time.

Spin doctor problems again. Not mine. Your logic is "Lower your level!" This is
another delusion. Because this way they would no longer get my points. I am
happy when people admit that they got something of a different view from my
messages. That is the signal to me that I'm doing fine.

You underestimate irony.

Yes. If you were a woman then I could perhaps lose my mind. I needed more
details. :)
