If you look into the literature of the past 20 years, you will easily
find several thousand examples.
I'm sorry but either you didn't understand my point or you don't know
what you are talking about (and the constant terseness of your replies gives
me absolutely no traction on assisting you). If you would provide just one
example and state why you believe it refutes my point, then you'll give me
something to answer -- as it is, you're making a meaningless assertion of no
value that I can't even begin to respond to (not to mention the point that
contending/assuming that I've overlooked several thousand examples is pretty
insulting).

that.
