careful study.

John, with genuinely great respect for your insight into things physics,
what you say in the paper is reasonably quite clear, It is just that I
don't agree with those views. You seem to be saying above that your paper
is _obviusly_ "true" and that even a quasi dolt ought to be able to see
this. But in incipient senility this quasi dolt does not agree. I am not
saying that what you write is "wrong" only that it is only one way to view
things and that I am not totally comfortable in doing so.
