Also - it's *really* unlikely you read all three of those reports for comprehension in the 38 minutes between the time Thump posted his sources and your response.
So again, why should he bother?
People should summarize a link, or quote the most relevant passages, precisely because people are unlikely to spend hours reading links just to respond to a post on the internet. Linking to a long web article without summarizing is a tactic to appear to be making a point without actually making one, and linking to a book is just ridiculous.
Quote:ETA: Also, considering the last report is 124 pages I doubt you read it at all.
I went straight to the conclusion section to see if it even supported his position. It didn't, which means he probably didn't even bother reading the conclusion.
Oh, I read it.
Additionally, my claims were fairly straightforward, and the links were provided support. I can make my point without summarizing the evidence, and certainly don't feel like writing an essay for your benefit when you've shown yourself unwilling or unable to follow facts to conclusions.

Read that and tell me what you think.
Sure, why not?

Maybe you should learn to read. I've stated my case plainly.
The pointed questions, well, that's just gravy.
