And you my friend do not have the faintest idea. That may be the case for some people but certainly not everyone.

Sorry to get your defenses up friend. Hence I said "theory". Of course I stand by my theory, it has been tested and tried many many times. But still it is "my theory".

I know this is a late response but fairlds is not a reference, scholarly or otherwise, It is a website that publishes material and research. If he is interested in scholarship, then rules of scholarship would require him to be familiar with the material he is critiquing. It doesn't sound like he is and that would make him hypocritical.
