You are making a jack ass of yourself. The Primary Problem?
Read the next paragraph in the book. 

Look, you don't know what the hell you are talking about
here jbor, it's obvious, so please stay out of it. I
appreciate your comments on GR and Blicero, but on Eddins
you are so far off it's obvious you have not read the book
in so many years as you have admitted here. Can you wait
until we get some of it on the table before you start trying
to pull the discussion down on the floor?
