John Schmidt says CTE works after all.

Good one Shitstorm
At least it was when you first posted it.
After repeating this same post about 25 times, not so good.
Weren't you warned about posting the same things over and over and over and over.........til infinity and beyond.
What's amazing is this quote from "Near Genius Socrates Junior": (He is not even close to being Socrates or a genius)
"My ONLY desire is to make matters clear so that the chance of others being 'unintentionally' misled is reduced. Language is all that we have to communicate ideas, etc. & it can at times be challenging to be precise so as to not mis-communicate & not cause others to be misled."
It doesn't come close to crossing his mind that HE is the one miscommunicating and misleading others while MANY of those who are in the know from first hand experience at the table are constantly having to correct him for the good of others.
I have no idea when near genius was officially installed as the forum censor and savior of the world, but if he wasn't he still thinks and acts like he is.
John Schmidt admitted to being wrong but this guy has never been wrong in his life. It takes character and a strong sense of self to do it and John has it.

Quit hijacking my threads. This has absolutely nothing to do with the spirit of this thread, which was to call attention to a change of opinion previously held by a world-class player. Take your relentless crusade about subjectivity vs. objectivity elsewhere and start (yet another) thread about it. I promise not to make a single post in it when you do.
Interesting. So, this creepy poster is not some dude named Rick? I wonder who he really is. He must be somebody very important to be able to destroy thread after thread here and remain untouchable.
English makes some obvious points, sans insults, sans name calling. Then:
And so it goes...

English is making points that belong in another thread that is actually about how CTE works. That they are "obvious" to you makes perfect sense since we all know of your strong opposition to the system. They are not obvious at all (and appear, in fact, quite incorrect) to actual users of the system.
And I guess we have to add your posts for what they represent and who you are.
Aren't you the one now recognized as the most loyal sycophant zombie follower to hold the fort down while your Lord and Master PJ is sitting it out for being a bad boy and his echo or ventriloquist doll when he's here?

I would apologize if I had done anything wrong... but I have not.
This thread that you started (but is not yours) is about a world class player that was of the opinion that "aiming methods" were of no real value. That was the opinion of a Very Good World Class Player.
I am not, & never have been of that opinion, yet I can understand how he may have been of that opinion.
You've brought it to OUR, the AZB members, attention that he has now formulated a different opinion based on something that a friend of his has communicated to him.
We do not know what it was that that friend "communicated' to him, but I think it would be of interest to most who are interested in aiming methods or also to those that are of the same opinion that John was & think that aiming methods are of no real value.
There are implications made by the use of words.
I do not agree with some of those implications without certain caveats tagged along with them.
I have sort of explained them in THIS NEW thread for any NEW reader to consider however he or she determines to do so, as well that they should.
'Censorship' is usually implemented by those that have something to hide.
I know of no occasion were censorship was ever the tool of any virtuous endeavor.
When oldmanatc 'spoke' directly to me. I responded to him with an explanation in order to clarify the implications of his statements. He & I are good terms & it appears that John's Friend, bwally, & I are too as he has said that we are in basic agreement on this subject.
We ALL have no rights here, but I would certainly think that management would, at the very least, allow one to respond when 'spoken' to... or even when spoken about.
Socrates was a rather intelligent individual.

Slow month in the cte subforum, eh?
You too which is why you posted. I see you've missed me. :wub:
This statement is all any user needs to read to see that you have not even a remote clue about the system you are discounting.
Then why are you 'intentionally' misleading them yourself?
I sincerely doubt there will be any new readers in any threads where you are involved.
You know nothing of the real Socrates, and are merely judging his intelligence by the contents of what he wrote. We are also judging your intelligence by the contents of what you write. Think about that for awhile.
The 1/2 ball statement I made was NOT about CTE.
It was merely an easy reference about fractional or any other method for that matter when a shot does not fit one of the base indicators.
If a method does not have 75 to 90 indicators there are adjustments that MUST be made when a shot is actually in between the base indicators.
Those adjustments need not be conscious adjustments but can be subconscious ones formulated through the time of trial & error of successes & failures while utilizing the method & building one's subjective data base.

Why don't you shed some light, in general, about these 75 to 90 indicators. You keep bringing them up but never elaborate.
Post #1 of the closed thread.
Get Sloppy's "permission" & I can post it here.
I can post it without 'permission'...
but you seem to have no real interest in anything that is reality...
& that was not my intent when posting in this thread.
Isn't it odd how those that complain want to foster or instigate matters in the exact direction of which they complain?
Telling I think.

What an ironic hypocritical post made to another person but not recognizing it for himself when it comes to this issue!! (I guess it's what Socrates would have done)
