I know. You've called me a liar many times in the past as well. Let's see how that works... I pretend to be interested in finding out how CTE works but in reality I am trying to manipulate the conversation in order to make CTE look bad. This is apparently because I've already made my mind up that it doesn't work and all I'm doing is knocking a system I hate. That makes me a liar -- not a skeptical observer as science would demand, but a liar. OK, then there is you who has already admitted that you believe CTE works (finds the shot line for you) and you are using these discussions/investigations to spread the word. So my agenda is to knock a system I don't understand and that makes me a liar. Your agenda is to promote CTE despite the science, something you clearly don't understand, and that makes you Saint John? That seems odd, doesn't it?
As far as securing a grant to figure out how CTE works, I'd say lol. After twenty years of nothing you'd think the answer is obvious. The player is making it work. Twenty years. They found the Higgs Boson particle while you guys are still trying to reinvent physics.
