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

MR Towe,
I am not unwilling to participate in traditional scholarly discussion in
subject Medieval Documents.
But I have found that Mr Towe himself is unwilling to see that he doesn't
have any case to go on.
First Mr Towe, and others, said that anatase didn't exist before 1920.

That's been proven false many times over. By others as well as by me. Among
other facts speaking against Mr Towe is a schoolbook for 16-18 year old
students at Technical Schools and what we call Gymnasium(High School) from
1880's.

Then Mr Towe claimed that the anatase didn't exist in nature in so high
concentration - that's been proven false. By me as Seppo and other noticed.

Then Mr Towe claimed that the anatase on VM must be syntetic because it
wasn't possible before 1920 to heat up to the temperatures needed. That's
been proven false. Anatase exists in cheramical powder as well as in sand
AND it's Anatase which is heated up for the rutile wanted. Not the other way
round.

Mr Towe also tried to claim that the anatase must be syntetic because the
anatase found on VM was rounded and uniform. Sadly for Mr Towe anatase in
nature can have round and uniform grains as well as syntetic anatase can
have other types then he assumed.

Now Mr Towe aren't willing to accept that he lost his case and at minimum
needs to reformulate his thesis.
It would be good had he as well as others written the minerals found on VM
down - it's what we normally calls mineral sand that has such apperance, and
of course also cheramical powder.
