I am formally offering to Chuck and Jim to move this argument to private
e-mail and I will not publically respond to these issues any further.
Neither Chuck or Jim has provided any reason why they can't or shouldn't
persue the primary literature of the subject they are interested in. Why
is frankly beyond me. My question regarding the three choices of why
that can't or won't do so remains unanswered, but I will amend that they
could also be fearful of looking into the primary literature. Of course,
they might have other motivations.
It's not that hard, guys. It's all there in libraries for you to open,
read, and decide it's validity. Secondary works are only the starting
point, the rest of the trip will take you through a library.
