(my emphasis)
Whilst I don't think Amkerman does have a solid grasp of most of what he's talked about here, Like Spearthrower, and I'd hazard a guess Shrunk too (though please correct me if this is a misrepresentation Shrunk), I certainly don't think he lacks the capacity to do so. I very much think that if he spent some time studying this material he could learn to be highly competent in this area.
It seems highly rude and personal to suggest that he is completely devoid of the ability to learn.
I didn't make that suggestion. He himself stated that he wasn't including himself in the bunch of people who knew what they were talking about. My ensuing question was about how he could then judge who the people were, who know what they're talking about.
Well, I'm certainly glad you didn't mean to suggest that he lacks the capacity to know what he's talking about, and merely accept his suggestion that he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to the finer points of technical logic. There is rather a large gap between the two.
