[Smt-talk] Palestrina and Jeppesen, was: MISSING THEORY COMPONENT?

I am glad you are entertained, but where did you find such  
"expressions of intense loyalty" in this thread? Seems mystifying to me.

The point is really not about anyone's being "offended" by your  
critique of Jeppesen. I wish you concentrated on the actual subject  
matter instead of the imagined attitudes and emotions of other list  
members.

As I think my first post made clear, the point is that without  
reasonable justification your extreme critique remains fruitless and  
very unconvincing.

I am looking forward to your notification about a "clear and  
persuasive" argument. I also try to take a look at your JAMS article  
that you mentioned.
