So you, as a scientist, say that a forcing license establishes enough definitional grounds to warrant the characterisation of an organisation as having a "monopolistic practice"? If so then how does any organisation with a forcing license fail to have monopolistic practice? Sometimes even Ph.D.s seem to deviate from the very first principles of conceptual soundness. Shouldn't you know better after a larger number of publications? Georg
