Well, contrary to your belief there are standards (you must have also failed statistics, a single instance is equivalent to 'meaningless' result, and this is as fundamental standard as 1+1=2). When kids go to school some get A's and some get D's, and depending on the standards they are graded to, those can have vastly different meaning.
Your use of the adverb 'clearly' in the above statement is an excellent demonstration, but so are the rest of your posts on the subject.

Again - this is not the National Academy of Sciences that we're talking about here - and you want to talk about 'failed statistics' as being a requirement here? Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater because this exercise was not designed with full statistical rigor (you're joking, right?). Please...it is a 'Quick Slurry Study' on a razor forum for crying out loud. If you object to the word 'study', then fine, but a little perspective would go a long way here, IMO.

Such a narrow focus doesn't lend itself to better understanding. SEM pics notwithstanding, we now know a good deal about the mineralogical composition of these hones and of course that has an appreciable (to put it mildly) impact on how they behave. It also clearly supports morphological observations on the SEM images, but I dare say that few people here recognize - or worse - seem willing to consider that. It's apparently much easier simply to look at the SEM pics alone and see nothing but particle size, as if hones were comprised of nothing more than different sized ball bearings.

Eschers act very differently than Jnat as do coticles, and particle size is only a part of the reason - perhaps a relatively minor reason. We now see some of the reasons for this, but if you choose to see it as 'all gargbage', well, that's your perogative.

Okay guys, no head butting, rabbit punches, no biting, no gouging or kicking. If one of you is knocked down I want the other to go to a neutral corner. The Marquis of Queensberry rules are in effect so let's shake hands and come out fighting.

It's hard to argue when the fact that that your X-ray picture doesn't have anything to do with the SEM ones doesn't even bother you when you make statements on the mineralogy. That's as basic as basic goes.

Your repeated refusals to avoid addressing your logical gaps by substituting an imaginary argumentum ad populum says enough.

I've just given up on this, if you want to believe in Santa Claus so be it. Just don't post your falsehoods on the forum expecting that they will remain unchallenged.

Sure thing. It's all pretty basic if that's how you choose to look at it.

Funny you invoke Santa Claus. Kind of like equating this to a childish schoolyard argument, isn't it?

Wait a minute - there's no Santa?

+1 on the no Santa... I know because the easter bunny told me.

I think there is 'nuff said on this one gentlemen. Let's close it for now and move on.
