"It is my opinion that it impolite to insert one's opinion about a thread when one clearly has not read the original post, the link on that original post or any of the relevant discussion about it." I agree with this, however, my conclusions are based on having read Professor Stoke's arbitrary and inconsistent statements and disagree with his findings that he bases on "opinion" rather than educative information. Again, the "Appeal to Authority" one of the classical logical fallacies apply here. Everyone who set themselves up as an authoritarian figure stands on an eroded platform. Humility and openness are the real tools of heuristic thought, not vituperative pronouncements.
