Eli's not a member of fai-logistics, and I don't think he even knows
about it yet. As for your challenge, you have to convince other people
that your theory is of some merit before people will consider it
seriously.
People *have* taken both the challenge and my theory (two different
things, notice) seriously. They just do not belong to the SIAI group,
and they do not make their views known in these public fora. They just
communicate with me offlist.
Your suggestion that I have to convince people of its merits before they
take it seriously is rather naive (if you will forgive me for saying
so). The particular kind of people who are prepared to defend their
views with any amount of incoherent rationalization, and who will use
any amount of personal slander to attack people they dislike, are not
going to be convinced of anything if it does not suit them, nor will
they ever take it seriously.
I am quite content, at this stage, to point to the sum total of all the
responses to my suggestion, and let others judge the situation as it stands.
I will elaborate on the ideas when I have written down the framework
that allows people to understand the ideas easily. All in good time.
