Again, Richard, you counter my arguments with freak examples.

I give you a reason why my methods are better, and that reason 
includes a phrase such as "in general, there will be no damage".

"In general" already means that this is true only 99% (or even just 
80%) of the time.

And you think that citing one example from 1980 strengthens your 
argument? Rather, it strengthens mine. In 50 years of WC reporting, 
you find one example where it would have been better to follow your 
advice. I think that means that my advice is more effective, don't 
you? No, of course you don't, but then you're stubborn. Well, so am I.

I won't comment on the case that you don't even cite in full, apart 
from saying that I don't like the ruling one bit. If this is the best 
you can do to discredit the DeWael school, then I'm even more 
convinced that I am acting in a good manner.
