OK, so Pichard has posted evidence to support his position and now you try to
discount it totally with logical arguments. Well, his evidence is concrete, so
perhaps you should think a little harder before you disregard and disrespect his
result. For this reason, I think your logic is not good. You didn't present
anything to support what you "believe". Yes, it is too small a result to have
any significance but still it is material evidence.
