Actually no. Having known you for more than quarter century and having a
deep respect for what you have accomplished both as an engineer and as
human being, I am actually embarrassed by your rantings.

Please note that I have been studying the criticisms you and others have
made about MQA since they were made. I have also been studying the MQA
patents and papers, talking to others as well as you and reading as much
as I can on the work of Turing, Shannon, and others on information theory.
In what I believe is /not/ an uninformed opinion, I think the vast majority
of the criticisms made of MQA are not based on facts; are based on societal
and financial factors that I don't regard as relevant; are commercially
self-serving; are based on circular reasoning; or are nothing more than
uninformed conspiracy theories. In other words, I am not convinced that
you or others have yet made any kind of case that would cause me to
question my own opinions.

So it goes, Charley. As I assume you are aware from the years we have
known each other, I have never had a problem being judged on what I say
or write.
