Re: Conversation with a deaf person (Extracts) about the Phaistos Disk.

A) (sentenciously) : "People usually get interested in deciphering
scripts because knowing how to read one artifact, you know how to
read
other artifacts using the same script".
B)- This is a very narrow point of view !
A)(angrily) : It's not a point of view !
B)- ?????
-----------------------
A)(sentenciously) :" Facts which don't fit established scientific
theories are disregarded".
B)- But the Proto-Ionian Theory can be easily integrated in the
scientific frame. By the way, have you ever read any book or paper on
it ?
A)-(angrily) : Your frame work says it isn't a one-of-the kind item,
so it has no relevance to this point.
B)- ?????
------------------------
B)-" Many scholars say that they are "not interested" in the Phaistos
Disk ONLY because they know that studying it seriously would led them
to
abandon the dogma they have defended for years.
A)- Nonsense. Any of them would be delighted to appropriate any good
theory and be the one to explain the Disk. Your digression on how the
Phaistos Disk is important and how the Proto-Ionians could explain
everything misses the mark.
B)- Not at all !.. It's the HEART of the matter... By the way, have
you ever read any book on the Proto-Ionian Theory ?
A)- The heart of the matter is that it doesn't suffice.
(Sentenciously) Any one can built a coherent theory that integrates
any given number of one-of-the-kind items.
B)- OK. That you refuse to be informed about this theory is YOUR
problem. But some other scholars - happily- are of a different
opinion.
END of the conversation.
