I don't think it was meant to blame any single person. My concern is
that people who are here for useful information are concerned enough to
complain and I appreciate it they did it privately rather than opening
up more cans of worms on the list.
I think Don's recent proposal for the pyramid test has possibilities
though I don't know if it would do anything.
The experiments I've done with it had many variables which I guess in
the end do revert to the question of 'did you get what you wanted' and
if so 'did you get what you wanted in the way you wanted it'...thats'
the trick...<g>....
Such conditions artificially imposed on natural harmonies reminds me of
the Devils' bet with Daniel Webster where Daniel said if he lost the bet
the Devil could have his head....sure enough, the Devil being the
trickster won the bet and came to collect Websters head.
When Daniel dutifully laid down to let his head be taken he carefully
repeated the agreed upon bet conditions using the Devils own ineffable
logic....'you can have my head and you must take ALL of my head, but you
aren't allowed to touch my neck'...so Daniel lost but he won because he
got to keep his head...<g>....
The lesson and point being, you'd better be clever enough or keep it
specific enough that you win either way, even if only partially.
