I don't mean to be rude

But you can't help yourself?

are you jeff's twin brother, the way you write and express yourself is very similar characteristics as Jeff's and to come forward like you did back Jeff on your very first post seems very odd to me.

who are you and what is your back ground, I'm interested

No relation. Perhaps that it seems to you we "write and express" ourselves in a similar manner is because we are both men of science albeit different fields of expertise. Academia has a way of homogenizing or standardizing if you will the mores and protocol for engaging in technical discussions.

It would be meaningless for me to tell you my background because background (resume) is not proof of a claim. Besides it really does not matter where or how one comes by their knowledge, only that it be factual. Although I am not an autodidactic (with respect to this subject), I hold nothing against those who are.

If I were to claim my statements are true on the basis of my background it would be an example of: ARGUMENTUM AD VERECUNDIAM or the "Appeals to authority" logical fallacy.

Appeals to authority are always deductively fallacious; even a legitimate authority speaking on his area of expertise can get it wrong. The testimony of any authority is no guarantee that anything is true.
