Unfortunately, your Ariane 5 column distorts your views the same way. The applicable quotes have been repeatedly posted. If you have responded to them before now, I've missed it. This is the first time I've seen you specifically disclaim the notion that the Ariane 5 crash demonstrated the failure of current methods (which were, in fact, unused on the Ariane 5 INS). I'll be happy to re-post the quotes if you wish to explain how I am mis-interpreting them. I sincerely don't see how your paper can support any other meaning. Sam Mize
