Sounds like the making of a research paper or even a DRF book.

And here I am thinking the Nea Platonists or the Aristotelian commentators (not related to THE Commentator, the horse) were THE most devoted followers in history. But they have nothing on the Beyerites. This is approaching cult status (we're in Epicurus territory now).

This is ****in' amazing. Years from now, people will still be quoting Beyer and following his method. (Over on other forums, they practically WORSHIP Sartin. There are many over there who invested countless time and money in seminars and books/programs put out by Sartin. Damn, the game is hard to beat but not that hard. )

It took until the 17th century for a REVOLUTION in science. Yet, here we are 400 years later and so many are still living in the GEOCENTRIC universe of (someone else's) figures. Go figure.

It's getting harder and harder to keep from falling down everytime I read (or write) some of this stuff.
