Coming back to this thread with a cooler head, I realize I did not make the best presentation of my case. Fleshing out the simulation and addressing the objection raised by Dr. Swamidass at the end would have made this exchange more helpful for everyone involved. Even though I may personally not be a fan of the requests, all requests for clarification are always helpful and should be addressed in good faith. So, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Dr. Swamidass and all participants for not making this thread the informative exchange it could have been. In particular, I apologies for becoming upset when Dr. Swamidass called me out for my lack of clarity.
@EricMH it is goodto see you back.
We all make mistakes. Not every one is humble and wise enough to apologize. Thank you for showing us how it is done. I understand it as real character, more than anything else. There are no hard feelings, and I’m also sorry our first exchange here was a rollercoaster. I’m certain there will be another time around, and it will go much smother.
Thanks for your tolerance of us too. It is all water under the bridge. I look forward to when the conversation continues…
