But he did change his mind, so what I believed and posted did not occur. Possibly he will post his videos in the future. It was Morgan's decision to change his mind about making these videos public, not mine. So I can see why some people are hoping he will reconsider and post the videos for all to see. If it were my choice, I would definitely post the videos.
Maybe someday I will post videos of my own here showing LRL demonstrations. I could care less what people think, post and conclude about what they see. If they don't agree with my demonstration methods, conclusions or opinions, or want to make prejudiced comments before the videos are shown, it is ok by me. But for now we are dealing with Morgan who has decided he does not appreciate the comments he received just before he was to post his videos.
As far as it being a little late to try and draw a clear distinction between the terms demonstration and test, I doubt this is the case. As I recall, I have been saying it is a demonstration all along, open to all forum members. And the only testing I referred to was that Morgan and the attendees would be able to test them out to see if they work or not. I can never recall saying there would be any kind of scientific testing or double blind type. I thought everyone understood that. While I didn't make a point of it, I assumed that any attendees would be allowed to make any reasonable testing of the detectors to satisfy themselves to whether they are working or not, similar to how you might test out some metal detectors at a detector shop. I could forsee that any testing would be determined by the people who attended the demonstrations, so I purposely did not describe any specific preset format, only that the attendees at the demonstration would be able to test them. If you didn't understand it this way, then I am sorry I didn't get my message across to you clearly.
Also, I should mention, I have no connection to any LRL industry interests, nor am I affiliated with any hard-core skeptic groups or LRL lover groups. I maintain an independent stance so I can express my opinions without being predisposed to support any particular group. Unknown to most skeptics, I have always maintained that gold corrodes, sending ions in the soil from since my first post in Geotech many years ago. But it is also true that I never witnessed any machine live today demonstrating an LRL working, to detect any long-time buried gold, and I am not inclined to be convinced any machine can succeed until I see it working live in front of me where I can test it to my satisfaction to convince myself it works or does not work. As far as I am concerned, they are Santa Clause stories until I see something live in front of me that convinces me there is something more than fairy tales happening.
Well, I couldn't go to Morgan's demonstration/tests either, but I could do the next best thing... I could watch videos of it with him and other forum members showing what I would can be seen if I was there. This is the reason I made promotional posts for the Morgan demonstration/testing event. I wanted to see his live demonstrations/testing, and I wanted others to be able to see it too. This is the first time anyone on earth made a public demonstration of LRLs working live today for any forum members who want to see. It never happened before, and is truly a remarkable event.
I think Morgan's videos are very worthwhile for people to see what he filmed. Of course these can become controversial, but the value is not for arguing purposes, but to see what he and Geo filmed, and forget the politics. Just see and observe, learn what you can. Then after seeing it, form whatever conclusions you like. You will be a better educated person after having the experience of seeing some of the best LRL films ever made in any forum -- (If Morgan decides to change his mind and allow the videos to be posted here). .
I hope this clears up nay misunderstanding of what I posted.
Best wishes,
J_P
If Morgan never decides to post his demonstration videos, then Maybe someday I will host an event for people to demonstrate their LRLs working live for forum members to see and test with their own hands. I can guarantee I won't care what kind of response posts I see, so nothing will stop me from posting videos for all the curious to see.
