Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Try to remember Dell, it is always the responsibility of those making the "claims"; to actually provide the proof for those claims, not the other way around.
My proof for making the statements I have, not only about the bogus ring theory, but also your bogus MFD/LRL theories is based on very sound principles. I will iterate them for you here, and I hope you will understand.
Once a device or phenomenon has developed around poor theories, it essentially halts all useful progress by its practitioners until the idea is reintegrated with the larger scientific community. The institutionalization of theories and devices in an uncritical atmosphere and away from the larger scientific community almost guarantees that there will be a continuing sequence of "positive" results, sometimes for centuries, even though the phenomena remain slippery, understanding remains vague, and discovery of new knowledge is left to the rest of science. In short, a duck is born. Quack, quack.
In regards to your own advertisements and those of a similar ilk; I would simply remind you of the following:
DEFENSIVENESS. It is a common human tendency to take criticism of one's work personally and respond defensively. True science must constantly be aware of this tendency and suppress it, because unchecked defensiveness is the death of scientific inquiry. When a manufacturer/dealer consistently interprets criticism of his or her theories, hypotheses, or data as personal insults, they become suspect, and rightly so.
How appropriate, and predictable, that one LRL salesman would come running to the aid of another. Why don't you get Claude Cochran or Richard Thomas to join in your little dogpile.
