My link was to an entire web site, not a specific article. That's why I asked the question that I did. I am trying to establish the correct context to your remarks.
You still haven't answered the question that I asked. Please do so.

yuor specifically atate to read the results of the Princeton Pear papers.That is EXACTLY what I did. In other words I followed exactly the clues which you left any reader of the post that referred to the Princeton experiments, of which you left a link.Now, if you can't find my quotes, then it is very obvious that you haven't read the link that you left. I find that rather pathetic. You can watch an elementary video, but not read a link, which you have posted, and still make statements saying that that link supports your comments.
If you haven't bothered to read your very own links, I see absolutely no reason to enlighten you. Why spoon fed someone who quotes from a link which they have not even read?
Stu
PS. Are you are upset because I didn't leave specific page markers for you? If you're grumbling about the PEAR website, remember that you left that very link for the rest of us to wade through. What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

What's your problem? I provided a link to an entire web site to point you and others to a large body of work that they might find interesting. After you responded with a few isolated quotations, I then asked you to confirm, with a question that could be answered "yes or no", whether you were working off a specific article that I linked to. Rather than simply answering this question you responded with an ambiguous reference to "it" which could refer to either of the two links that I had previously posted. Perhaps you are not aware that many authors of scholarly papers tend to reuse words, phrases, and even paragraphs in various of their documents, so establishing context is not just a matter of a simple search. You should also appreciate there may be other people following the thread, and putting all of them "on the same page" is a useful courtesy.
I can not respond to quotations taken out of their context, which is why I posted the specific link and asked for confirmation. If you are an intelligent person you will appreciate the necessity of understanding words, sentences and paragraphs in their proper context. If you have common courtesy, you will also appreciate the importance of providing useful links and politely answering simple questions.
You will hear no further discussion from me until you accord me the common courtesy of answering my simple "yes or no" question.

Tony....I specifically referred to Princeton. How many websites did you list which referred to Princeton?
Actually I will not bother to answer as it would be nice that you do NOT reply. After all if you don't bother to even read the websites you link to, what is the purpose of holding any discussion.
Stu
You appear to display a lack of common politeness as well as ignorance of scholarly citation. When one cites to a book one provides page numbers or, at least, chapter numbers. The same goes when providing hyperlinks. Providing a link to an entire web site when talking about a specific sentence is only slightly better than telling someone to go to the Firestone Library at Princeton University.
You might not realize it, but it has been years since I read all of the material on the PEAR web site. And decades since I met some of the researchers involved, who were friendly, polite, intelligent and educated, unlike some of the inmates here.

Statement from the above quoted email says it all: "You may not realize it, but it has been years since I read all the material..."
So you are in the habit of referring us to material to which you have not kept up with? That displays a distinct lack of politeness to the readership,at least in my book. And to top it off it is your hyperlink to the website which I read, and from which I made reference to. If you don't remember what you have read, and the obvious deviations from the conclusions which you have reached, then maybe you ought to really reread the entire website again.
And, at this point, since it is obvious that you have not read the entire website, I see no further use of answering your obviously uninformed emails.
