He said himself, "$359.00. So what?" I took that to mean cost was not an obstacle to his goal. I don't think it is reasonable for ME to run the experiment and bear the expence in time/money, 'cause these 40% claims have been bandied about by various and sundry for years and years, and I have enough personal experience that tells me, don't buy based upon claims and seat of the pants testamonial by unknown speakers, more especially when those are paid testamonials on infomertials or patent attempts to justify the wisdom of unreasoned actions. I believe his idea is a farce. I answered with a farce, a satire, in an attempt to make him reconsider if another altunative might be a reasonable option ie, save your money or put your money where your mouth is. Just don't expect me to validate behavior I consider irrational 'cause his ego demands it. I could have just said, "Bullshit!", but that's no fun at all and has no chance of expressing reason, therefore, is of questionable value to anyone. Thank you for the feedback,
