And I'm most convinced from your posts that your bias overwhelmingly controls your logic and perceptions.

So some guy merely tells you about his alleged enhancement of a document, and because his supposed results suit your preconceived notions, that's proof enough for you.

The fact that it's EXTREMELY unlikely that the good general would be waving the document around in the first place is apparently immaterial, as is the fact that you cannot actually produce a copy of the enhanced document with which to convince us skeptics.

All in all, and in full consideration of your previous posts on this thread, at best I can say you've performed wonderfully in the service of sarcasm. At worst (i.e., you're serious), well ... let's just hope you're funnin' us.

Did you watch the program?

There were sufficient illustration of his process and type of analysis to be sufficiently convincing to me.

Sometimes I mix the 2 up--but I hope you enjoy your seeming affections for a type II error.

It still escapes me why you think it is so much more protective and righteous than a type I error.

In terms of the vast array of data points/puzzle pieces in this broad subject area, I'm quite comfortable that my analysis accounts for more than yours does.

You also conveniently avoid a number of points in my posts. That's OK. It must be tough.

Waving the document around???

Seemed to me like he was slanting it away from the camera somewhat.

But, help yourself. You are certainly free to construe your own reality.

Of course, if you construe it extremely uniquely enough . . .

r9etb, you're wasting your breath. Quix is a determined and closed-minded fanatic, and will not give counter arguments the time of day. Remember, even discredited hoaxes count as "proof" in Quix's mind.

As far as the Ramey memo goes: the cat who photo-analyzed the memo should publish his findings for review. Personally, I think it's the same deal as with the "Face on Mars": artifacts of computer image processing, combined with wishful thinking. The human brain excels at pattern detection, and thus we can find patterns where none exist: faces in clouds, canals on Mars, and English words from hopelessly blurred photo enlargements.
