Some very LARGE and very FAST back-pedaling, then? Stan, I suggest you make the "invitation." All he has to do is make a decent case and an awful LOT of argument and disputation can be ended. But perhaps he wouldn't want to share the revelation? The revelation of the MIRACLE of an aiming...

I've answered questions about my playing elsewhere. Nobody has any business requesting me to "give stats." They're certainly of no meaning in this discussion. Where's that logic you claim to be so handy with?

Yup. You only need to believe. :thumbup:

Glad you put it that way. In fact, "branding" of instruction has ALWAYS sucked, wherever it has been seen. "Branding" overall is invariably a method to add false value to something. It's best known in consumer products: the name "Tide" is probably worth BILLIONS--but it's just the same old soap...

Aha! Well, I noticed JUST AFTER MY DEPARTURE that a group of back-slapping CTE instructors started up this phony looking thread to promote each other. The timing was TOO SUGGESTIVE, and required me to hop in to deflate the phony bag of fetid gas that is this thread. I will be gone again...

Learn what? An "aiming system" that aims balls at pockets without taking note of where the pockets are in relation to the balls? There's nothing to "learn." It would be like a month-long course teaching how to determine the type of cheese that the moon is made of.

I look forward to hearing from him. Maybe he'll be able to explain how an aiming system manages to aim balls at pockets without including information about where the pockets are. Now THAT'S a "chime" I'd be amused to hear the tone of! I would REALLY REALLY REALLY love it if you could encourage...

No, that's why we're ruining pool...HAHAHAHHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Really Shawn, why are you trying? (especially since, ahem, you "don't use an aiming system"). I still have coffee in my nose from you PhDs ruining pool--and that's for the clarification that the criminal PhDs...

Yup. There it is again. CTE and GOD (or religion) go together. This time it was brought up by a CTEr himself--good to see a little honesty getting squeezed out of the CTE crowd.

I have to tell you, Stan, if you got a panel of unbiased and EXPERT observers (say, for example, like a panel of professors of mechanical engineering) you would come away VERY disappointed (and much poorer). Have you truly not realized that? What you would be describing would be seen as nonsense.

I think that's a good metaphor....but perhaps you should look at the other side of it: Don't you think it's ABOUT TIME you gave up on Santa Claus, Shawn? I'm happy to be the one to help you...

Oh yeah. Of course. It's the "PhD's" who are killing pool. That's obvious, and has been clear to everyone for a long time now. HAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :D :D Elite thinkers--destroying fun wherever they go :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yeah... :confused: So...if you "all teach the same thing (mostly the same way)" is the sight of you all standing in a circle patting each other on the back (or substitute any "circle activity" that comes to mind) supposed to generate a lot of..."forum excitement" or something??

If you had any idea how ridiculous that makes you look... :rotflmao1:

uh...or else the moral of the story is: If two people take opposite sides of a yes-no bet then one will end up being right and the other wrong--and no matter WHAT, the one who was right will go around saying "I KNEW it!"

Hmmm....I didn't demean anyone....Oops, I know: anything that happens to skitter through your cobwebs is automatically true.

Two rather incendiary sentences to juxtapose: Only those who SELL can sell CRAP.

Hold on. I've gotta stop right there (I didn't even READ the rest of your post). That metaphor has been used COUNTLESS TIMES, for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN since 1978. (Including about five times per page in every CTE thread on this forum.) That you choose NOW to claim it's some justifiable...

Uh...yeah. Sorry. I don't really know my way 'round the kool-aid fountains yet. I thought the "SPF" moniker represented a certain....oh....very tight "instructors clique." What do I know. I've just been here a short time.

Except....uh....99.9999% (at least) of people who ever CARRIED OUT that game plan never HEARD of CTE :D
