Mike,

But Dick has technical degrees for godsake . . . from a University no less!

Dick,

For the record there are several other people with technical degrees on this board who do agree with Bell's work - within the carefully delineated limits of his testing. Please note the many caveats that are used by him throughout his articles.

Until more extensive empirical experiments are conducted on damascus barrels by you or anyone else, I'll stick with Bell (and the host of others, including the proof houses, that agree with him.)

I'm out on this thread. I don't mean to be rude in my response, but admit to responding to what I perceived as "I have an engineering degree and Bell doesn't, therefore, I am the only one capable of understanding this."
