Yes, we agree that for purposes of discussion that CTE only works on a pool table. However, the discussion was more about the "mystery" which we have agreed occurs on any shape surface. It seems the only requirement for the mystery effect is to have 2 spheres on a surface (of any shape). My question is about the mystery perception. I'm suggesting that if, 3 years since the "Never Supposed To Be" video was made, you now understand how the mystery works, maybe you could explain it so the other two people in this thread who have inquired as well as myself will understand. I think you know that this one issue is probably what has caused 20 years of angry posts. If you can clear it up you should.
Instead of keeping all posts made by a member from their join date to present, AZ has purged everything except for the last 1,000 posts.
In your case that was 10-4-15. I would assume with each new post made today or in the future, the 10-4-15 post and the immediate ones preceding it will also disappear. I can't even imagine how many between 2010 and 2015 have gone into outer space regarding CTE, Stan, proponents, methodology, etc. Your zeal, imagination, creativity, enthusiasm, and energy to discredit any and all of it is limitless. I only wonder what could have been if you dedicated all of those hours to something/anything positive in life instead of this negativity. Is it your goal to be the "Savior" to all of pool mankind? Is that how you rationalize it?
When I did a "Search" of your posts under your screen name from the last to first starting at 10-4-15, ALL of it was CTE related on the first five pages. That means 125 CTE related posts on 5 pages alone from back in 2015. There are 25 posts per page with 40 pages. I would say 90% or your posts are CTE related. Why, when you could care less about using it or any aiming system in it's entirety for your potting benefit?
Most of them started under the guise of, "I don't understand..."; "can you please explain..."; "how does this work when...";
Get a grip, Dan. It's NOT for you. The world doesn't need to be saved because most players can make a very quick decision on their own whether it's for them or not.
Here are those pages from 2015:

Is it ever going to STOP?!
EDIT: I just came to realize the above links say "NO MATCHES'. Go to the "SEARCH" box on the top of the page and type in DAN WHITE in the member name section. Copy the "secret words" in the box on the left. Go down the page to the bottom and click POSTS (not threads) Go to LAST PAGE which will be Page 40 and then 39, 38, 37, 36. It's all PUBLIC INFORMATION here to begin with. I'm not giving away any secrets. You'll see for yourself how all 125 posts are CTE related and the history back to Page 1 of NEGATIVE CTE ADDICTION.
