>>As for why you use RV's, you should offer those arguments up here.<<
I have before... but if my arguments are compiled into a wiki, why repeat it over and over? Better to refer people to the Wiki where the arguments stand the test of time and there is less tendency for invective.
As for Mr Black taking a personal shot at you; that may be your interpretation. My read is that SB was trying to provide "evidence" according to the normal scientific meaning to guide somebody who has decided that one technique is best and is now asking for evidence to support that. With respect, at first read that sounds like "junk Science"- decide the outcome then assemble the evidence to prove it. If you read Mr Black's post in that light, he is advocating a considered approach rather than just helping assemble "evidence".

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
