>I do not lie, nor do I fear the truth. Where on earth do you dig up these wild accusations? If you were truly on the side of the truth, you would not have concocted your wild story about tissue not being able to stretch and grow.
Jim, I examined my head and concluded that today my head is not in good order because of a cold, but my brains are working correct (to my opinion of course, ha-ha). So I could see that you’re capable to produce less arrogant texts. Maybe you slept well? It’s obvious you can’t give me the proof I want, but be honest at least by saying the proof I want is not available.
Your argumentation about who’s to prove a proposition is a kind of odd. It was not me that made primary propositions.
You did: stretching always helps!I’m in my sixties now, but my brains are working as before. When I studied at university one of the principal things I was taught was the way of making scientific propositions and how to prove them. It’s really insufficient to lean upon books, testimonies, etc. You have to do your own research and make documentations by own observations. A photograph is a strong proof in combination with text in this case.
I assure you that the term ‘always’ is very hard to proof scientifically!I didn’t concoct stories about tissue not being able to stretch and grow. Please read it again. I never stated anything like that. The example of the ties in your knees was only meant to mention a different kind of much less elastical material. I didn’t say whether it could stretch or not. That was not relevant in my story. You need not tell me that all tissues can stretch; I agree with you on that item and always did, wow! That’s not the point. Stretching the frenulum meets many practical obstructions and that’s why it seldom works!
Besides, I don’t agree with the point of view on this forum that one should be content with his body, as it is given to him, if a part of it doesn’t have the functionality, which it should have but cannot be changed without further measures.I will not go on boring you by my requests of proof if you too are willing to climb down a bit.
