Just a comment by a lurker in response to both Salty and SLPx. I understand Scotty is probably irritated with Salty, but "respect for others" and maintaining an unemotionaly attitude is definitely not what Scotty has done. I do think it takes away from your posts. (SLPx is Scotty, right?)
On the other hand, Scotty's ideas are obviously "winning." Although I haven't read too many threads involving Salty, it is clear in this thread that valid objections, indeed, even falsifications, of Salty's ideas have been presented, and Salty has presented no answer whatsoever. In the end, he says his works speak for themselves, but his works are so easy to shoot down that even I have taken a shot at it (not on this thread). This thread has blasted big holes in Salty's works, which he says speak for themselves. So, I guess if they speak for themselves, then what they say is, "We don't have anything right. This was all a bad hypothesis."
