Sooner,
Robert Marks is the corresponding author on the papers in question. It is appropriate for him to be the contact person for DiEb and anyone else about them. That said, I’m not sure where you’re getting the impression that Prof. Marks has made any concessions to DiEb. Is DiEb himself suggesting to you that major retractions are on the way? I meet with Prof. Marks weekly and the impression I get from him is that you all are not to be taken very seriously.
By the way, what exactly are your qualifications? Bob Marks is world-class in the field of computational intelligence (which includes evolutionary computing). Do you care to dispute this? How do your publications stack up with his?
It seems to me that you confuse two types of errors. There are what you regard as misconceptions on our part about evolution. From our vantage, you are the ones with the problem of misconceiving. Then there are the straight-up mathematical/arithmetic errors (like an exponent being too large or too small). The latter errors are easily correctible and in no way undermine the conclusions we draw.
I’ve opened this forum for you to lay out both types of errors. You prefer simply to cite a long messy response that takes our paper without permission in full and then intersperses comments.
Having raised the charge of error, you now seem unwilling here to enumerate them. Another insulting post from you here in which you blow smoke and avoid specifics, and who knows, you may need to find another forum…
Oh, was that a threat? |
Go on, Sooner & DiEb - post the criticisms there. You know we want you to. :-)

It is fun to dip into the various threads to watch cluelessness at work in the hands of the confident exponent. - Soapy Sam (so say we all)
