Hi Fernando: i cant accept as evidence someone saying-''i feel this is
stronger'' or ''it appears to me stronger''.i need hard facts-in the form of
performances-against a given group of programmes the newer version has to score
better than the old one to be considered stronger-and i'm not asking someone to
conduct this tournament as people seem to think-all i'm asking is whether anyone
has already done such testing-whether these results are published and whether
the outcome of this testing has shown a progressibve increase in strenghth-

My insistence on hard evidence is probably the outcome of my medical training
where the drug companies always claim that their latest product is better than
existing ones and as doctors we refuse to believe them unless they can prove
that this is so by clinical trials
