Replication or Demonstration
Sep 04, 2003, 11:48
This is the interesting issue.

I think anyone who looks at Gordon's method can not fail to see its "obviousness".

But you can't replicate what you don't know. Simple.

You can't say it's the best method until you've tried them all either. You certainly can't begin to say it's possibly the best until after you've made the attempt.

You can say "on paper it looks pretty flaming good to me" (which it does), but not that it's the best one.

Basically, at least before the event, this can only be a demonstration of Gordon's great idea. Afterwards you may be able to start to say different.

The use of levers has long been considered. It's Gordon's rowing method that's new.

Don't forget to get a big drum for folks to keep stroke :-)
