Quite , the derision was not only for the over interpretation from Rupe but more importantly the errors in his understanding , that were highlighted at the time , and if anyone wants a summary can easily be repeated .
Bruno Fazenda who works in the same area is an example of someone who doesn't make the same errors, knows his stuff and also doesn't over interpret . He doesn't go out of his way to self publicise or flog dodgy apps either .

I was not saying that anyone here was deriding, June. I was expressing a personal opinion, perhaps not as surgically precise as others may like, the kernel of which was that our forebears, in the absence of the technology of the modern age, were perhaps more aware of and in tune with their environment..probably no bad thing. I had not, repeat not, read 'Rupe', nor any comments generated in response, as was incorrectly assumed. I prefer to assume nothing. My opinion was purely prompted by the initial post, and I had not read the link within. I hope that this is now perfectly clear - it really should be - and will say nothing more on the matter.
