I've realized that trying to argue every single little difference I have with TIA is extremely time consuming. Perhaps I'm right, perhaps s/he is right. I suppose time will tell. However, given that I've written nearly a hundred posts in the last five days on the subject, I hardly think you can accuse me of not responding intelligently and stating where I disagree. Therefore I find it unnecessary to restate my positions. Go back and look at my other posts if you really want to know.

Basically I'm satisfied with where things ended up. I got TIA to admit that clustering had an effect on the MOE. That's a start. At this point however, I think that's the best I can hope for at this point. This debate will continue on in the blogosphere and eventually a form of agreement will be reached. That is the real test for TIA--to see if his/her ideas can be sold to the world outside DU.

Best of Luck.
