Please accept a few comments to this remark.

First off, I did not begin my research from a "preconceived conclusion", as you have charged. I actually stumbled into it while working on a completely unrelated geometrical problem. I suppose you could then blame my work on the chance discovery of "the prepared mind", so to speak.

However, one of the basic means of new discovery is to start with an informed hypothesis (a more honest term than "preconceived conclusion", in my opinion), and then either prove or disprove it through exploration. The above statement therefore appears to be disparaging one of the foremost tools research has. In any event, even should you persist in the thrust of this belief, it does not then follow that a result gleaned from such a method should not yet be valid. The proof of any theory is not necessarily in its provenance, but whether it can lead to new and promising (and testable) insights. This, I believe, my theory does - in spades.

If your "more interesting things in the pyramid designs" refers to work of your own, I would be curious to see it. Perhaps you could tell me where I could find it.

Best,


Lee Cooper
