Free to Marcus Porcius Cato: ''Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam"
In conclusion, I think that the "Otis therapy" should be destroyed

Dear J,
Subject: The concept that the fundamental primate
eye is dynamic -- should be accepted.
Re: That is good science -- but it is not you
"type" of medicine.
Some more commentary on new concepts.
"When adults first become conscious of something new, they
usually either attack it or try to escape from it... Attack
includes such mild forms as ridicule, and escape includes merely
putting it out of mind."
- W. I. B Beveridge, The Art of Scientific Investigation,
"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is
ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is
accepted as self-evident."
- Arthur Schopenhauer
"Theories have four stages of acceptance:
i) this is worthless nonsense;
ii) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view;
iii) this is true, but quite unimportant;
iv) I always said so.
- J.B.S. Haldane
"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not
worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."
- Galileo Galileo
"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered;
the point is to discover them."
- Galileo Galilei
"You can recognize a pioneer by the arrows in his back."
- Beverly Rubik
=================
So as always, enjoy our pleasant discussion that
respects the prove behavior of the natural primate eye -- when
accurate measurements are made on a scientific (not medical)
level.
Best,
Otis

the truth is otis, the plus lens theory went through these stages
decades ago when it was first considered. what you don't list is the
final stage-- when the theory is disproven and some old die-hards still
continue to hold onto it and refuse to move on! thats where you are
otis.
Move on die-hard!

Otis,
You have already shown that you are a legend in your own mind. You
will remain a legend in your own mind as long as you live.
