    unpublished letter to Experimenter

    For space, content or whatever reason, Experimenter did not publish this letter.

    I can certainly understand why it wasn't printed.

    Much, much too dense and technical for a "Letters" column. Most likely the editor couldn't understand it and most readers probably wouldn't either.

    If you want to pursue this, prepare an article manuscript and submit it to the editor. But be sure it is comprehensible to 80% of potential readers.

    Thanks, but not what I meant

    Sam, thanks for the counseling session on communications.
    But that is not really the feedback I wanted. I thought this would be a good place to discuss the content of the original article and of my critique of that. I am still hoping for that. I have been published in Experimenter more than once in article form.

    As an aside, if you thought my content was hard to understand, what did you think of the original article?

    Howard,

    I am a big proponent of AOA and have a fair amount of AOA experience.

    I can guess the points you are trying to make but not sure. I would like to better understand what you are saying, if you could rewrite it in a way that is easily understandable that would be appreciated.
