Adios, Jerry.

I'll be too busy to argue anyone the next couple of weeks anyway.

So, I take it you don't plan to look at the paper. That's one way to
avoid the issue.


You read my reply I presume. You are the one who is evading the
issue.

I am NOT going to read an obscure paper in a 2nd rate journal by a
third or 4th rate author just because a professor who made an error
on his webpage couldnt articulate a freshman level SPECIAL CASE.
on using Z to test Ho: p1 = p2 = ZERO.

A very, very special case.

All other relevant reasons that I'll be too busy the next couple of
weeks
are beside the point, in YOUR evasion and absence of even a single
valid response to WHY you ignore the Ho condition other than you made
a mistake (a careless one) on your webpage.

That is excusable. Very excusable.

Your EVASION of an answer is not.

You EXCUSE for anyone to read the Am Stat paper to answer a simple
Freshman Level question taught in ALL Freshman textbooks is the
most laughable excuse I've seen since I have been reading this group,
and I've seen plenty of laughable excuses, from just Afonso alone, the
#1 who point to your webpage mistake. And Afonso #2 pointed to the
same mistake for support, not knowing Afonso #1 had already done so
and had been thoroughly debunked. Now comes the webpage professor
himself, NOT able to make a simple retraction or correction of his
error,
and unable to give an explanation other than pointing to a pointless
paper
in the American Statistician.

Is that how you actually TEACH?

That is a pretty sad commentary of the American System of "higher
education" I must say.

There's nothing to retract. You asked for references. I gave you references. YOU asked for them. You got them. NOW READ THEM!!!

Perhaps someone else would like to read them for you and defend your position. We shall see.
