We used to think the world was flat and that the Earth was the center of the universe - the church said so - but science eventually prevailed. I think that your point is that it did not prevail without a fight and there were some serious cosequences to the "radicals", to wit Gallileo.

I can wither the onslaughts, I have all along, and I just can't stand arround and let the charlitans win.

Thanks for reading the chapter.

OVerall, a worthy effort so far!
Stop me if you don;t like this kind of feedback, though I mean it constructively.

If you want concise take a look at my first book!

I don't think that pictures would be appropriate in the first chapter and I'm not suer where I would get those signals. I'm right out of cannons and kettle drums at the moment.

I have pretty much found that the answer to the first is "not really" the mythology is more fun. And the answer to the second is, "well yes your right, but what I have is just fine". Sound qulaity, per se, is not a competitive advantage. It hardly even rates. Looks, size, prestige all seem to be more important.

Just my experience.

We do what we can, but alas what we do alone is only a drop in the bucket for what needs to be done. And, along the way Lidia and I have found absolutely no support for our work, either from consumers or industry. It's really like no one cares. Read the posts on my site about our distortion metric to get a flavor for this reality.
