the Appeal to Authority. LOLCan one assume by your response that you, like some other highly educated Reviewers around here, know Everything? You really are living a dream. LOL

"Appeal to Authority"What the appeal to myself? Why not?
"Can one assume by your response that you, like some other highly educated Reviewers around here, know Everything?"
There you are, taking it to extremes again.
Who ever said such a silly thing? Don't put words into my mouth, mister. However; I do know a lot about how light interacts with matter. Take that for what you will.
I take it as an attempt by you to claim you anything at all about light-matter interaction, much less anything relevant. What happened to the Brilliant Pebbles argument? Do you feel more comfortable with the chip? Fine!If you'll pardon me for saying so, from what what you've said so far, other than ego boosting yourself, you haven't demonstrated knowing much of anything relevant to these discussions..
...the deleted links from your BP white paper on the ability of a mineral to absorb light energy? On which your theory of their ability to absorb mechanical energy is based...
Remove the pebbles from your keyboard so that you can type something readable. Chips Ahoy!!
much funnier than I am, after all.Have a Nice Day
If you had wanted to have a technical discussion regarding your devices you would have but it is clear from your evasiveness, not with just with me but with basically everyone who questions you, that this was never going to happen. So, I might as well act like you and make a joke out of it.
I am not being evasive. This is *not* a forum for peer review -- where did you ever get the idea that it was? I won't engage in technical debates on this forum as it's totally inappropriate.Anyway, do you really think your counter-arguments, assuming for the sake of argument you actually have any, would "prove" my products don't work any more than my theories of their operation "prove" they do work? LOL!
So far, your "arguments" are nothing more than the usual, "they can't possibly work," "science doesn't allow it," "I am a PhD and I say they can't work," statements you naysayers hold so dear. LOL
By the way, you are *not* acting like me, as you state - you're simply acting like many other know-it-all types that populate audio forums.

this is a Technical Forum. If you want to avoid technical conversations, you should post elsewhere."I won't engage in technical debates on this forum as it's totally inappropriate." Why is that? This forum was started for just that reason: technical debate. Now how about it?
Robert, I appreciate your concern, but I'm referring to discussions regarding my paper on the IC. As I've stated, I do not regard this or any other AA forum as a proper forum for peer review of the paper, as contradictory as that might seem.Other than that, I do not avoid technical discussions here or elsewhere.
Interestingly, a review of your posts here on Prophead reveals zero technical content. Perhaps it's actually *you* who should not be posting here. Now, how about it?
I haven't been posting here very much, because I am an admitted techno-neophyte. Not knowing, and not having the appropriate degrees, doesn't mean I haven't an interest nor does it mean that I don't have the aptitude. Although I started with Heathkits and Dynacos, and have built several speakers and turntables, I do not profess to have the body of knowledge necessary to contribute in a meaningful way to the technical discussions on this board. However, as an experienced human, and skilled recognizer of bad behavior and BS (the kind that has an enormous impact on the ability of people to actually learn something from a good debate), I have never shied away from responding to the culprits when necessary. Maybe you got me there, Geoff. I was just..."responding.""Other than that, I do not avoid technical discussions here or elsewhere." Other than what? I don't see any technical discussions from you anywhere at all, so I guess I just don't understand your claim that you'll converse technically (excepting peer-review of your paper.). I'll just continue to lurk and learn here, but it is getting difficult.

The ability to delete one's unresponded-to posts as one's rancor builds is a nice feature of the Asylum, no?But it is certainly fun to have a record of your blood pressure starting to boil.
by the way, your first reply wa by far the most reasonable, and actually one that I could have supported.
You sure go on, don't you, big fella? My advice to you is find somewhere else to troll, have you tried Outside?
Amazing. What exactly am I trolling about? Please do tell. You seem to know a lot of things that no one else does. Maybe you can help.Too bad this set of posts is so far down the page that you and I are the only one's seeing it.
No Robert, I see it just fine. I would love to see these other posts he deleted though! I would also like to find out exactly WHERE he talks technical about this stuff. Perhaps in the shower instead of singing or maybe his cat? I am just SURE he is attending conferences on quantum dots and entanglement and presenting the results of the IC in front of his physics peers...RIIGGGGGGHHHHHHTTTTT!
maybe you two can commiserate with each other. LOL~ Cheers
Resorting to the old name calling now are we, Geoff. So childish but of course expected when you don't want to talk tecnical in a technical forum. I guess there is not much left for you to do here but to taunt the people who want to engage in meaningful discussion.Oh, BTW, please feel free to let me know which conferences you will be guest speaking about the technical aspects of the IC or brilliant pebbles. Or maybe you are giving a talk on the CLC at an upcoming timepiece convention (you know they have one every year here in Basel). Since you won't discuss technical issues on a technical forum I can just go where you will discuss it. I won't hold my breath for your (non)answer.
The pleasure has been all mine, Brad. Thanks for all the "meaningful discussion."Many thanks for all of YOUR technical input. I expected nothing less from a Reviewer for a Major Audio Publication and will be looking forward to more of the same from you in the future. :-)
Have fun living in your shell.
~ Cheers, GK
typical tactics, when in doubt call everyone who doubts you a troll. Go on call Don T one too afterall he bothered to reply as well.
"Definition of an Internet Troll (from Wikipedia) - In Internet terminology, a Troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, incorrect, inaccurate, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others. Trolls can also be existing members of such a community that rarely post and often contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative posts in an attempt to discredit another person."~ Have a Nice Day
"Trolls can also be existing members of such a community that rarely post and often contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative posts in an attempt to discredit another person, more often than not based on what they thought was said rather than what was actually said by the other person, concentrating almost exclusively on facts irrelevant to the point of the conversation, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others. The latter are primarily, though not always juveniles from other countries who don't have enough understanding of the language to realize that there is nothing to argue about, the points are truly irrelevant to the conversation, or they just don't care and are simply trying to cause the other poster grief with their frivolous and irrelevant arguments."It seems that just like the science behind jthe IC and the CLC, something was left out of the description.
Ah, coming out of the woodwork again?...One thing the Wikipedia definition doesn't mention is that you trolls will argue until you're blue in the face. LOL
Everyone's still laughing at you.
I just consider the source: knuckleheads, like yourself, for example. LOLHe who laughs last laughs best.
Couldn't come up with something better than "knucklehead??" Name-calling really does womders for your credibility. You really need to practice more if you want to play in the game.
I count myself fortunate not to be part of whatever game you think you're in. LOLNice playing Whack a Mole with you, Mr. Mole.
Tell me again how your Brilliant Pebbles "work." If you could do that, this thread would turn back towards the technical. But probably not.
You can have the last words, Geoff. You are no longer entertaining, just embarrassing.
Get the thread back on track??! As if it was ever ON track. LOL
~ Adios, Mr. Mole
"Get the thread back on track??! As if it was ever ON track. LOL"Of course it couldn't have possibly been on track when you are involved in the thread. After all you are self avowed non-technical discusser even though it is a technical forum. Why don't you go troll around tweaks where no justification for what you say is necessary.
Ironic, Morriclam, that you should accuse me of not posting technical content when you have scrupulously avoided technical content here yourself.Unless you want credit for "I am a PhD" and "I know a lot about light-matter interaction." LOL
~ Cheers
Go read my discussions about amplifiers in other parts of this forum, Geoff. Plenty of technical there. Too much for you perhaps as you would prefer the non-technical troll around town.
Thanks anyway, but I find technical talk about amplifiers quite dull. Dull to the point of nodding off to sleep, actually. All these discussions about amplifiers, speakers, cables - they're all so 1980s. Does it never end?Has everyone on audio forums around the world gone to sleep?
Rock a bye baby, in the treetop...~ GK
Searched for technical content from you...all that turned up was a definition of troll: See Geoff Kait.The discussion of amps is timeless because of its relative importance in the whole scheme of a stereo system. Unlike your tweaks a stereo makes no sound if there is no amp. Therefore it has a fundamental and profound affect on the sound coming out of the speakers.
Zzzzzzzzz. Thanks for the nap, I needed that. You fit right in with the other 1980s oriented folks fascinated/obsessed with the technical details of how amplifiers work and such. Not "timeless" but "interminable."
Deleting your posts when you say stupid stuff, Geoff?LOL!
No, only posting better way of saying what I wish to say. It's called editing.Name-calling seems to be frequent tool of 1980s types like yourself. Life is comfortable in your fishbowl, eh?
~ GK
Have you even taken a university level physics course and did it include quantum mechanics? Do you have a science education...at all?
If you don't know I ain't gonna tell you. Anyway, what possible difference could it make? You've already gone to great lengths to demonstrate at how persistently close-minded a person with a PhD in Chemistry (or so you say) can be. Gee, I always though science was all about discovery, inquiry and all of that.If I were you, I'd seriously consider obtaining a refund from wherever you went to school.
~ Cheerio
Since you obviously know so little about how real science is done and that skepticism, including to ones own ideas and observations, is part in parcel with making real discoveries and not imaginary ones. If you haven't figured out that scientific method evolved to prevent faulty observation then you know very little about the failed scientific and mythical theories that have floated around throughout history.I guess tweak salesman is what you are most qualified for after all.
In your case I would simply call it trolling, not skepticism. And I'd guess what you are most qualified for is shaking down spoon-benders and ghost-hunters . Bye, bye Mr. Troll.
"spoon-benders and ghost-hunters" is that the company you keep? Geoff the tweaker hanging out at those seances and with those tarot card readers. Its good to know now what angle you are coming from though.
Morricab, have you ever considered extensive deprogramming? Perhaps you can locate some competent folks there in Switzerland and arrange for them to visit you way up on that mountain where your cave is located.Meanwhile, I suggest you contact Randi Foundation as I think you'll find them very supportive of your "ideas."
~ Cheers
Actually I live in Zürich, which is consistently rated as the best city in the world to live in. You can crawl back under that pile of brilliant peebles you came from.
Must be all the banks, nice and cozy. LOLSuggest you tread a bit more softly, Morriclam; people might get the impression all reviewers of major audio publications are mean-spirited, small-minded neophytes.
~ Have a Nice Day :-)
Oh and BTW, editing is what you should think about doing before you hit the "Submit Follow Up" button.
If I am 1980s then what are you? Prehistoric witchcraft? At least in the 1980s we try to really know how and why things work rather than "have faith in the special powers of the rocks". LOL!
hmmmm...now that you mention it, one wonders why...
The pleasure has been all mine, Brad.Indeed - obviously you've "LOL" yourself to death. Me? I didn't think it was funny and in fact I'm embarrassed for you. But what the hey - at least you've enjoyed it.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
Sorry, can't please everyone.As you said, at least I've enjoyed it.
