Haraka - Your comments are always measured and respectful, but comparing Galileo and Simplex is a horribly false analogy.
eetrojan If I gave that impression it was unintentional. I thought that I had made it clear that my disappointment with Simplex was that he hadn't "pulled the rabbit out of the hat".
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I initially thought that, once having drawn people out , Simplex was going to reveal some hitherto unpublished or unknown information or well founded analysis.
This Galileo did, Simplex hasn't.
To Simplex's credit though , he does bring out documents that are worth reading ,e.g. that referred to in #421:
and I don't think that he is , "off his rocker". The use of irrelevant ad hominem insults doesn't really reflect very positively on the initiator's basis for discussion.

P.S. jondc9 I think it was me who was also called
a revisionist crank
by another from the land of the "airplane".
