If you think gorilla game investing is a fraud, you are free to ignore it, but you shouldn't

I listen to these people from other threads and their comments about the G&K thread. From what they say, it is obvious they don't have the slightest idea what this threads focus is...even though many say they've read the GG and do. I truly do feel sorry for all these people. They are only openly showing their ignorance. All this thread does is to focus on what the MFool's say is the hard part of investing: Determining a companies strength/ability to succeed. Very simple. I would think every investor would be interested in this?
I know I'm a newbie to this thread. I'm not new to the GG book or it's focus on investing. I'd like to add here a not exact quote:
There is very little difference between the way a truly brilliant man acts, and the way the non learned man acts. That's because they both realize that they are stupid.

RaPle
BTW: That "not exact" quote is from Albert Einstein.

I'm sorry about my lapse in netiquette--I am very sorry for that, and apologize; my intent was not to offend.
My reply--and its tone, I guess--was prompted mainly by the impulse to come to Mr. Gordon's defense; I find his somewhat contrarian views refreshing and important to the ongoing dialectic. His technical information is often extemely helpful. I do not in any way denigrate GG principles, and agree completely with Unclewest's characterization of them as codifying a game that worked very well in 1999 (and hopefully for years to come). Regular questioning of the validity of GG principles as time goes by is only healthy for the game.
