Oh, Dear,

As a Plus 5 SD IQ with no completed Tertiary Studies, (and who has the knowledge of Grammar & Spelling but makes lots of typos due to a micro-motor problem since birth) I don't know whether to feel complimented or insulted!

I just MUST challenge this claim about the relative percentage of graduates in research in WWII. The "Boffins" WERE Graduates - I don't know of any who weren't... and that area has always been a centre point of my reading. Turing, who was the acknowledged genius of breaking cryptography was... wasn't he? He had lots of helpers who were not, who are credited with making little individual "sparks of genius" that contributed significantly, but, so what does that prove?

I am looking forqward to the carefully researched and documented background information which surely must have been relaesed under the 50 year rule by now - oh wait on, 1945 + 50 ... Maths isn't my speciality to be forwarded.

People like "sorefingers" are so much fun. Look at all the good hard intellectual work he has inspired in so many threads.

He is a Troll.

But I have my own theory. Come a little closer, so they don't hear...

You see, when things get a little quiet around here, people like Max and Joe, and others who have been around for a while and shall be nameless take turns to log into a Guest Account (the current one is "sorefingers") and start stirring the pot to stimulate the discussions.

My proof is simple. The line of "argument" that this GUEST takes is so simple and predictable, that it doesn't even have to be the same one person doing it.

So "sorefingers" isn't a real person!

Q.E.D.
