Why do you think it is that nobody agrees you're right about any of
this? You accuse a lot of people of lying, and nobody ever seems
to agree - you "document" their "lies" and nobody ever seems to
agree. Why is that?

(Ok, "nobody" may be an exaggeration. John Correy seems
to be on your side. But he's repeatedly stated that he's not
competent to judge any of the mathematical issues, so whatever
his reasons for agreeing with you might be they have no
mathematical validity. Nobody ever seems to agree with you
while even _claiming_ to be offering valid logical reasons for
their agreement. Why is that, in your opinion?)
