Diphyenylamine is only "discredited" to the extent that there is a capacity for it to give false positives. This capacity can be measured. If it gives false positives in say, 30% of cases before it, then yes, it would be useless in a criminal trial of a particular person (as it was being used prior to the 1960's). But it would not be useless in a case where over 90% of a group of people test positive. I mean, roll a die 40 times and see if 37 of the rolls are a 1 or a 2. If they are, then somethings seriously wrong with your die. If you're still having trouble with what I'm saying, then buy a good book on statistics to help you out.

And if anyone here deserves to be writing in bigger letters, it's me, since I've answered every point you've brought up, whereas you've picked and chosen which ones of mine you think you're able to answer. And if at any point you should decide to go back and answer any of those points, here's another one to ponder:

What would you make of a poster who a) is virtually the only one on an entire forum who's pushing a particular interpretation of events, and b) throws an insult in every post, no matter who he's talking to?

inquest,

Why the hell am I going to waste my time executing this same fruitless exercise on any other of the points you raise when you refuse to admit the obvious on this matter?

All the proof is on the table, so quit looking down at the floor and mumbling about new and improved ways of misapplying the principles of statistics to turn bad data into good.

And the reason I'm so popular around here is because of people like you who refuse to smell this crap for what it is when I shove your nose in it.

So your options are to either to face the obvious on this matter so we can pursue other relevant points, or join the ranks of the fools and liars who mindlessly spout counterfactual and illogical arguments in favor of Milosevic's war against the Kosovar Albanians civilians in Kosovo.
