Re: Scholars and Theory of Science former Re: The Vinland Map's Ink

Will you please answer the questions that have been raised by your own
comments?

(1) One would need an electron microscope to see your natural anatase
clearly for accurate comparison with that on the Vinland Map. Except
for the kaolin anatase, NONE of the material you describe is small
enough to have any relationship to the anatase seen on the Vinland Map.
Therefore, where has any of your natural anatase been described in
detail so that we (and you, yourself) can be sure that it is like that
seen on the Vinland Map?

(2) If we see natural anatase in the ink, why don't we also see the
other mineral sands or clays too? How is that possible? Doesn't it seem
strange that you can see the anatase but not the sand that is sprinkled
on the ink with it?

(3) Can you help us by pointing, specifically, to a few other medieval
documents that have sand (any kind) remaining on them? If this was a
common menthod of drying ink, where are the other documents?

Any scholar, any theory of science, requires support (data) consistent
with the theory. You have not provided any answers that even moderately
support your natural anatase theory. If you are unwilling to do so why
should anyone believe you? How about some answers? That's the
scholarly, scientifc way, don't you agree?
