Did you ever think that the "hoax" that you claim was inaccurate for ONLY
those airlines, and that for another airline it may have been true?  No, of
course not.

Answering my queries with questions is unacceptable.  You failed to provide
any substantiation to your claim, so I must dismiss it.  I know the source
or the internal corporate report I was privy to, and it is a far more
respected and reliable source than you are.  Being a corporate internal
report, no one outside the company (Digital Equipment Corporation) would
have been privy to it, and it was not for external release.  Sorry.  You may
believe what you want, and I will know what I know.

Yes, but you have no facts.  You have no sources.  My sources are respected
and reliable, so they are correct, and your research is unacceptable by any
scientific means.

I think you believe you have.

Yes, but your research or your conclusion is erroneous or incomplete.  You
obviously are not a scientist, but you want to believe you are.

You did not answer my questions.

You do not share accurate and informed knowledge.  No one can share any
knowledge with you, when they do, you (claim to) know more than they do and
dismiss them.  You just want to argue.

I hope this filled the "argument quota" for the day for you ;-)
