re: And yet strangely Grondine's answers are very coherent to you.
No! Only remotely is that a paraphrase of what I asked.
You seem perfectly will to give Grondine quite a lot of leeway. And as far as I can tell never visited The Space Arena Board to see what he said there...you have but a half the story.
I'm done with this nonsense and hope you can stop your obsessive behavior over divining Grondine's ... "talk to Steve Ostro" ...it is as bad as soothsayers digging around in some chicken entrails.
You as I've said gave him an out and he used it. It is pointless now to show he thought it was a natural cycler he would claim only that he thought is would be good raw material for one.
