I really don't want to get a p'ssin match started here but I'm still waiting to hear your "well known 
facts".  All I remember reading was a bunch of accusations and unfounded slams over a chip that I 
don't recall you saying you have even seen, let alone taken an image with. That's what I remember 
reading and that's what my reply addressed.

BTW: I'm fully aware of the Bayer pattern and the difference between a sensor and a pixel. My 
imaging experience may not be quite as extensive or go back as many years as you claim and I'm 
glad you played such a big part of imaging design history but that doesn't make me stupid.  The 
little chips of a simple 35mm camera must be way beneath your level of expertise.

I don't plan on pursuing this particular thread any further as I view it as an exercise in futility. I just 
couldn't sit back and watch somebody make such outrageous accusations, slams and name calling.

Just like everyone else, (including you) we will have to sit back and wait for the production models 
to make their way into our hands. Then we will all KNOW for sure if their claims are the bare face 
lies you say they are.
