Because I spotted a blunder in the "proof" about 3 years ago and
despite reams of blather in hundreds of posts you were unable to fix
it. Only a fool would keep reading a mathematical proof after
they've spotted an error, and I am not a fool.
However, as far as I know you've failed to communicate the blunder
to anyone else in a way that they agree with. To me your attempts to
explain it sounded like semantic quibbling rather than any deep
insight into something Bruno has got wrong (but maybe I just haven't
got my head around it yet).
I remember a long discussion where John ended up changing his claim
that step 3 was wrong to it just being trivial. But then he still
refused to keep reading. At this point I decided he was not serious
about the issue.
It is the least that we can say.
He insist that all what I say is wrong, but that he never read
anything after step 3, which means that he criticizes without reading,
with his own admission. That is the mark of the non-scientific
attidtude.
That shows also that he is not saying what he thinks, but repeat
something he heard. It is a parrot. Still, it would be polite to say
who influences his thinking about this, and it would be polite to at
least try give an explanation, not a dismissive shoulder shrugging
accompanied by lies, insinuation, or false attributions.
