I propose a valid criticism, and you get defensive, ignore my criticism, and make a personal remark. This is not useful. Version A solves 850 positions at an average of X seconds per position. Version B solves 849 positions at an average of 0.42X seconds per position. I would suggest that version B seems outright superior. At very least, version B deserves investigation. Certainly, version B cannot be condemned without further research, just because others have already "proven" that it is bad. This is the exact picture that your own data paints. I am trying to get you to look at your own data and admit that the orthodox conclusion that you want your data to support, may not be the only conclusion that your data supports. bruce
