BTW, just about every criticism posted here vs. Sewell's article is a repetition of criticisms posted and answered here (though in this case it is done with professional and academic respect and decency, oddly enough): http://www.iscid.org/boards/ubb-get_topic-f-6-t-000216.html
So if you just like the sound of your own "voices", don't bother to click there, but if you wonder if maybe Dr. Sewell has heard your criticism before and might have had something to say about it, feel free to check there.

So I read a good part of your link, and it is obvious from the give and take on the thread that Sewell is clueless.

No shell games. Just tell me where the pea is.
