    Graham,
    You said:
    "Care and diplomacy is generaly advised when posting on any public/professional arena."

    Ye-es, looking at post #36 on this thread I can see how that would be the case:rolleyes:.

    Thanks for the discussion.

    Cheers,
     
  2. Hey graham.

    firstly

    :D

    Thanks for saving me the trouble. ;)

    In context this was part of a sting of monty python rip offs from the holy grail (not the life of Brian) sketch
    starting with bel saying she did'nt vote for me and dave as the science police. I'm sorry you feel it was inappropriate. I suspect CP can take it. We're all gifted a certain number of hormones, if some of us choose to waste them growing hair thats our problem!;)

    For the benefit (or not) of any who are curious (if any are) the rest was:-

    Thanks for bring it up though.


    Now, back to business.

    Numerous times on this thread i have asked you to provide a rationale / evidence for what you / they regard as ideal and how they arrived at this. YOu continue to evade the question. Until this issue is addressed the real world relevance of gait analysis is moot. I could say that a pressure track straight down the lateral border is "ideal", issue an orthotic with a 20 degree through medial wedge and claim success! Drawing ones own target then congratulating oneself for hitting it (the gunslinger falacy) is NOT valid science!

    This is not pompous use of ancient language, this is accurate use of proper terminology. Unless you know of another more concise english word for "diurnal".

    Your ad hominem is unhelpful to this discussion. As is your attempt to shift a scientific debate onto personal grounds. I suggest you stick to the debate at hand or i suspect this thread is heading for the padlock of doom (if its not already).

    Regards
    Robert

    Yes, well done, Mr Isaacs of Kent, spotted the loony in 1.8 seconds... Sorry, no more Python.

    PS I was referring to DH as the loony (in an affable/friendly way of course, as he mistook the sketch) NOT anyone else!!! I`ll just stop digging now.....

    Cheers
    Bel
