You still HATE the word "PROOFS", don't you ?..
Because the BIG DIFFERENCE between the "Proto-Ionic Solution" and ALL
the other ones (including the farcical J. Chadwick's attempt!) is that
one is *PROVED* by more than 30 pieces of EVIDENCE, the others NOT
!...
But, of course, you have VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN to IGNORE the PROOFS, as
shown by your last "comments" - IGNORING CHAPTERS 6 & 7 - about the
J.F.'s decipherment !....
