Agreed ... let's move on ... although other than the die state
argument here which is strange and does make some good points ...
everything else here seems circumstantial and a bit weak to
permanently kill this variety ... at this time.
The only substantial argument someone has presented to me awhile back
was when they asked this question:
John - When someone publishes a metallurgical study on 18th Century

OK...I will. I am guessing at the current rate of advancement in this
scientific field ... possibly in 10 years ... hopefully less as we
are all getting impatient. Stick around.
