So PLEASE POINT OUT THE OFFENDING POSTS! There essentially are none. At one point PJ says "how would you know you're not making subconscious adjustments." Obviously, what that means is if they're SUBCONSCIOUS, then you don't know about it. But JoeyA actually CALMLY ADDRESSED the issue in the...

OK, the facts. I decided to have A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS THREAD. (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that others verify this for themselves--it really only takes a few minutes, you don't really have to read much at all.) Here's what I found: MOST of the thread is JoeyA posts about CTE, and posts by others saying...

The truth ALWAYS "works," Joey. And the truth is that you have posted FAR nastier stuff than those you charge with bad behavior--and apparently all because they "disagree with you" about the value of an aiming system. I looked at all the posts here, and I don't see any nastiness coming from...

Really, who can deny that this is a PERFECTLY accurate characterization. And it doesn't say anything BAD--CTE may be the greatest thing ever; everything has to start somewhere. But it's really bizarre that JB can't resist claiming that CTE is now TAKING OVER THE WORLD as we speak :D Maybe it...

This really is something--obviously, you have NO FEAR of any moderator input toward YOU. 1) You refer to people who doubt some aspects of an aiming system as NAZIS! (gestapo-like) 2) You FILL your post with obscenities: shove your jihadi where the sun don't shine; GFY; tag team jerk off 3)...

Marketing: the total of activities involved in the transfer of goods from the producer or seller to the consumer or buyer, including advertising, shipping, storing, and selling. "Marketing" isn't necessarily ONLY about money. For example, ideas can be marketed in a forum--which is itself a...

I don't know what to say about all of the above, except...you occasionally seem to confound your own truths and motivations with wider ones. I have my interests and motivations, and you have yours. You seem to resent that I don't embrace yours, while I have no needs regarding how you deal with...

It's always the same--no matter what is said, you guys CANNOT answer in regard to CTE. If you have a bachelor's degree in statistics there's NO WAY you don't have the brains to think about the simple points I raised and see with crystal clarity that "CTE is silly." You ask me what fascinates me...

Well...if you can fathom statistics, then you can understand this. Try PRETENDING you think CTE is wrong, then look at the reasoning I suggested. It should be VERY SIMPLE for you, because you very clearly KNOW what CTE IS. Look at the 3 shots that Dr. Dave has put out. WHAT would CTE show you...

Ha! You say it's SIMPLE, but it's beyond the capabilities of A LOT of very INSISTENT and ANGRY people. :o

Guess you took me off ignore, ...eh? (hehe). Why not stop the bickering, use your university brains, and read what I've written. It clearly and easily demonstrates that CTE is silly--for those who can't seem to see it at a glance. Your example is silly; it's depressing that you can't see that.

There ya go then! Drunken evidence is the best; that's what I say.

I quoted it so I could savor its brilliance whenever I'm feeling down, or not right with the world. Sometimes we just have to behold something beautiful for awhile. Is that the fairly tale you were told in CTE fairy tale school? After seeing that I have to tell you I have....well...a doubt or...

RIIIIGHT....but that can't work, you see. You only BELIEVE that it works, but it really doesn't. Kinda weird, huh? ;)

Ah! An endless source of income for anyone who can always INVENT something new to learn! And, of course, since everybody wants to be like "really good players," then everybody is a sucker for any new piece of baloney anybody can come up with.

No. No. Well, that's a common point in CTE discussions. They always return to it. The problem with it is that the things that happen on a pool table are quite SIMPLE, easy to understand and, in fact, well understood. When there's a point of "well, I don't know what happened, but IT WORKED!"...

No one has every described a non-ordinary method of pocketing balls. You (and other CTE believers) are indulging in magical thinking.

We've been though this a million times (I know, you were too busy being insulting to actually follow the discussion). Yes, it's a kind of "coincidence." The apparent "use" of CTE is coincident with pocketing a ball by the normal, ordinary method of "feel."

If you wish to put it that way, sure. They make a baseless, unsupported assertion ("my system works") and seem to insist it be accepted, honored, and respected...and paid for. My job, which I have accepted, is to note the obvious: their assertion is baseless. Most things honorably for sale...

Obviously not. Balls pocketed without somehow "aiming them" at a pocket is just coincidence. This is a discussion about CAUSES and EFFECTS, not coincidences. There is no useful system for pocketing balls (other than a good break) that doesn't involve AIMING the balls at the pocket in some...
