Supposing one admits defeat, without hearing 'em say it, is a step too far. In debate, or war.

While I am not sure that theStudent will return to this topic, except in secret, what I post here would not be incorrectly considered to be bait. I have engaged theStudent in another of his topics he created this week and I continue to pursue these issues with him.

Shhh! I said I would show him how to frame his answer into an acceptable scientific format. I've no expectation that the actual evidence he'd present could prove the claims he is making. JBU, my thought is to see if he can accidentally learn something about scientific methods, long odds on him accepting my help.JoeyKnothead wrote: From Post 124:
