is it worth it?
Jerry Don, the Gospel Music distributor, simply will not (cannot?) admit hi sown limitations. He has started and restarted threads on this topic at ARN, some lasting dozens of pages, most posts showing Jerry Don's his errors (including one comical series of exchanges in which Jerry Don chastized all the 'PhDs' for not being able to handle his math, and later it was discovered that Jerry Don had been pushing the wrong button on his calculator!). Yet no admission, no humility form Jerry Don. I once engaged him in a 'moderated' debate at OCW. The agreed upon topic was "The field of molecular phylogenetics, especially the use of DNA sequence data in reconstructing phylogenies, has provided strong evidence supportive of evolutionary hypotheses of common descent", with me in the affirmative, and in Jerry Don's first response, he was off topic, and never went back on.
He does not understand enough to know when he is wrong. It is like a regular Red Queen exercise trying to get anywhere with him.

I wonder how Jerry Don's amazin' math takes things like gene duplication, chromosomal segmental duplications, etc. into consideration.
I have a suspicion that it simply does not.
