Response to: SDV's are clearly not the issue
Can you two speak English or take your discussion off line. Paragraphs like: That semantic perpective is one of the two premises on which the argument here is based. The other is the dependence of expertise in the reporting or rendition of data upon equivalent expertise in its collection and selection, which leads to the corollary that the expert process of rendition must determine how data is to be instantiated for its particular use. should be replaced with: That was one of my points. The other is that to correctly fill out a form you must be an expert not just in the subject of the form but in the form itself. Your use of the English languge is an attempt to prove that you are an expert not by your command of the subject but a command of it's vocabulary. Something that backfires on most intelligent people.
