Hi Jay,
<<<... has our discussion degenerated to such an extent in just two rounds, and we must rely on obvious taunts. 50 students? are you sure?>>>
Didn't mean it as a taunt. I was trying to use exaggeration to take my point to a logical conclusion. Does it matter if it's 50, 500, or even 5000? It's a very small number when we are talking about more than 1,000,000,000 people
<<<... you must detect more diligently, and in China, sitting next to the South Koreans, studying, preparing for the future.>>>
I admit I am very lazy when it comes to this kind of stuff. Nontheless, when CSL surfaces on my radar, I will probably become more diligent.
<<< ... and yet, even with all the difficulties and uneven playing fields, 97% of the local economy is in the hands of ... oh, you know the rest.>>>
I hope the Chinese get to do it better than us. Aren't there anybody here smart enough to unnerstand murrican...>
<<<... Oh, I see, and the East is about hiding knowledge and denying the truth? Surely not.>>>
I think you knew what I meant. This is somewhat disingenuous (sp?) especially coming from an Ivy Leaguer.
<<< due to the lack of second language abilities of many native English-speakers, and in that, a distinct disadvantage in seeking for strands of truth and digging out morsels of knowledge.>>>
I admit (again) that I am somewhat lazy in this regard. However, I have a lot faith in our capitalist system. If there are morsels of knowledge out there, there will be someone out there, not too different from the likes of you, who will dig it out for me and make money from it in perhaps a "Morsels of Knowledge for Dummies" <GGGG>
