Peter, Eleizier and I do not agree on everything. We both belief we are
right. I am still waiting for someone to point out a contradiction in my
writings that is based on what I write - not on what someone else writes.
See above. Your axiom's define what you know. Right now your axiom is:
Elizier is right - so consequentially Stefan must be wrong. Please tell me
where I contradict myself and I will be happy for it is evidence for
improvement potential - that is how science works.
Many thanks,
Stefan
