No, I just find it funny that you would be doubtful of Herman Rubin (who
himself says is a 'specialist' in mathematics) ability to understand the 300
pages of derivations, yet, you who are not a mathematician, can.

I'm sure you're disparaging Mr. Rubin by saying Rubin's " I cannot believe
that one could come up with a reasonable linguistic modelfor such a small
amount of text which would require 30 pages of calculation, let alone 300."
is enough to draw the doubt of his ability to understand anything.

I would say that you are the IGNARROGANT hypocrite.
