"You made an ill-informed comment on tool specs. vs process yields. You don't have to admit your mistake ..." There is no mistake. I said about "process being within specifications for all tools", not "tools meeting specifications". In the spirit of Intelbuffons, I could excuse Yousef's misunderstanding, since English is apparently not his language. More, the nit-picking man grasped at straw that I "have drastically and incorrectly simplified" process yield. In case he and you did not mastered the art of polemics and logical reasoning, any simplification is "incorrect", in some larger sense, just by the definition of it. Last, all these details do not matter whatsoever, you just deliberately want to divert from the discussion about who lies and who do not. I merely was pointing out that using the term "yield" without lots of qualifications does not make much sense, and therefore you cannot accuse someone of lying if his statement did not contain those qualifications. So, forget your "Jerry is liar" motto, and move on. Better "out". - Ali
