This is simply not true. You have repeated yourself, but you have not
answered my specific questions and comments, particularly where the clarity
of your own writing was at issue.

And I have endeavored to try to point out where and why you are mot getting
htrough. But you simply ignore my feedback.

It was incomprehensible. I have already speculated that perhaps it was
intended by you as an Inductive non-explanation. But understanding did not
arise for me out of it.

Why should I go to your website? Unless, at the very least, I am given a
specific URL page, in answer to a specific question.

No, I've had it! I'm not going to break my head "to gain some further
understanding". When I'm asked a question, I answer it. When I make
reference, it's specific.
> there is not much I can do,
There is a very little thing that you can do. When I ask you what is
referred to by "it" or "they", in any given sentence of yours, shame should
compel you to answer quickly, accurately, and concisely. This is just basic
copy editing!

On the contrary, I have asked you to state a hypothesis, in propositions,
with standards of refutation. In this way, we can plainly say what we mean
and mean what we say. Hypothetico Deductively.

No. As I have already reported, you have tended to build up in others an
allergic reaction, born out of irritation from reciprocal memetic
impermeability.

I don't do emergence! I don't perform Induction! It's that sort of inept
Pedantry that shies me away from your WebPages. Get with the program!
