Oh, my! An invisible reference! That's good enough for our boy Billy!

LOL! Not Again!!!!

Billy, didn't you learn from the last time you placed your faith
in a printed report from a 'reputable source'? Remember Bork?

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=vvk1uita5m1pa0%40corp.supernews.com

And now you claim that it was Einstein himself that made the claim! That
puts a completely different spin on the quote fragment that you provided!

Since Bill originally raised the issue with regard to whether Einstein
'pinched' Poincare's work, Einstein is certainly not a valid source for
Poincare's understanding.

LOL! It certainly is -- if the book includes rumors. And this is simply a
rumor.

Of course it would! Because it's pure B.S. if the document doesn't really
exist. And there is no evidence of the document. No title. No date. No
reference at all.

But A.A. provided an actual document to support his position. Yet you you
think your rumor is OK, because it was printed by Pais -- WITHOUT any
documentation.

> who, has been documented by Dirk, is obviously anti Jewish.

ROTFLMAO!

Bill proffers Dinky van der mumble as an authority on psychological
motivations!

Of course, it does not matter what AA's motivation is. What matters is the
documentation. Which is (of course) why Billy is reduced to pure ad hominem
attacks. (AA's documents can't be right, because AA is anti-jewish.)
