X-Message-Number: 24682 From: Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 12:51:43 EDT Subject: clarification Amazing how something seemingly simple is easily misinterpreted. Two people--one a CI member--have said that my suggestion of no comparisons is inconsistent with the Comparisons page on the CI web site. Well, of course it it--but the CI page was the RESULT, not the cause, of Alcor's policy of making derogatory and often ill-founded comparisons. Joe Waynick's recent message started out by saying he agreed with the suggestion (of no direct or indirect comparisons), then said CI should go first, then said that readers needed Alcor to explain its superiorities. Just obfuscation, muddying the waters. Well, reality will prevail in the end. As someone (Larry Niven?) said, "It's evolution in action." I hope we all survive, but chance favors the prepared mind.
