Happy new year..hope yours is a good one..Tom: ""For Soundmind, 'is' appears to be delimited by what is accepted orthodoxy among certain of his peers. ""
I know that when I work on systems that are mission critical, or are needed for human safety, I will always use "known orthodoxy". To do otherwise is to invite disaster..my employer expects it, as I am sure yours as well as Sound's...So, his approach of "show me the proof, and I will learn", is certainly a valid one.. he just doesn't seem to want to blindly accept gratuitous handwaving..can't blame him, really..
I'm happy, though..that this thread, with one exception, has been a delightful one to read..I thank all..
This is, IMHO, how it should be..
Cheers, John
