Jeffrey,
Well, at least you tried to substantiate your allegation that is
incorrect. As anyone familiar with scholarly standards of objectivity
would appreciate, my statement was carefully qualified, and thus on the
level. I made no false or excessive claims, and I have nothing to retract
or to apologize for.
On the other hand, you feel quite free to make strange and unfounded
allegations, it seems, and you do not acknowledge it when your errors are
corrected.
Regards,
Yuri.
