I'd like to see the citations as well. However, counter-arguing
the positions put forth is probably a waste of time. It sounds
like this is a search for substantiation of a pre-judged position.
Sort of: "I know what answer I want to come up with. Now let me
find some evidence to back that up."
I'm sure that Yongxiang Gao is just trying to do the work that was
assigned, but it sounds as if the professor is not particularly
interested in the pursuit of the truth. Pity. I always thought
this was the purpose of a University - not "advocacy" through
sophistry.
