Yet, when Hawking realized he was mistaken, he graciously stood in front of the world and said so. It struck me that the original poster was telling AC his theories on optimization were full of it. Let's remember AC is a hero and role model to our community. Let's give him a certain amount of respect. OTOH, if the original poster comes back in a few days with data backing up his theory. I'm guessing AC will readily stand in front of the list and admit that he was mistaken. -- David T Farning <dfarning@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
