Terry,
Perhaps my comment was harsh. At a certain point, however, when you claim the credibility of science, you must demonstrate that you actually do the work.
You do not demonstrate any form of quantified mathematical modelling for prediction that can be measured, then either falsified or confirmed. Your papers lack correspondence and predictiveness. Given this, what do you expect anyone to say?
Everything you are doing is rhetorical, and endless defensive smoke screen. I would take a different view on your extensions to Ashby’s Law if you could show that anyone else uses them. After a decade since you developed your first extensions, it is a fair question.
Nevertheless, it does reflect badly on me to become this grumpy. Before withdrawing, I suggest care in announcing that others agree with what you present — comments on a specific paragraph in an earlier thread may not apply to everything you say. I will now accept Wolfgang Jonas’s request and withdraw from the debate.
