For those who don't yet drink the KoolAid...and I, for one, was a reasonable skeptic...Jobst Brandt 'gets it'. He is a logical thinker and backs up most of what he thinks with good math and logic. Strong mind, stout heart. Dean Patterson Alpine, CA USA

You are comparing apples and orangutangs.

Something to remember: When Jobst and conventional wisdom disagree, Jobst will be the one with solid research to back up his position.
