I've read it. I read things once and generally understand them.

As a matter of practice, I don't get into detail about how or how much time I've spent analyzing race cards. I spent years at it and put more time into producing accurate Pars than Andy Beyer ever dreamed about. His Par's were amateurish. I also bought your figures every single day for two years. The point being that enough time has been invested by myself in card analysis that I most certainly am not an amateur. The truth of it is much stronger than what I've just stated.

I learned a great deal while charting races that closely and reached a point where I don't even have to chart them any longer to understand why a result occurred. I don't mean to say in any way that I can figure every major race in the country more accurately than your intensive statisical method of figuring them. But, I resent the notion that close observation cannot compete with the T-Graph method nor point out mis-assigned figures and I'll tell you why, I know it can.

How fast is Bob and John?

I dont' have any issue with changing track speeds. You know where I take issue.
