Jeremy,

Hi there,
Yes I see your point and it is well taken, but my initial concern still
stands!
I don 't think either it was Bruce his intention to chop up people, it was
and
is my own interpretation of what was written.
But, in the end, who are the credible people !?
What is a credible behavior, how credible must it be !? What is the
definition !?
Equals " credible " ' on average' here ' !? How is it measured !?
Still with your definition at hand, I don 't find my concern covered....
Best regards,
Kenneth
