That's why I used quotes around the word. And that's why I said it's not really triangulation. Why would you reiterate my point? Perhaps to build rhetorical momentum for your next assertion, which is false. [grin] > and it is stretching it to say they are fundamentally different. No. It's not stretching to say the three models are fundamentally different. They _could_ be similar if one so chose. But, in GENERAL, they will be fundamentally different if we don't put any constraints on the source or construction of the models. BTW, this evaluation method is outlined in our papers if anyone wants any more detail. - -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-219-3846, http://tempusdictum.com Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty.
