 Why do you keep suggesting I conduct tests you know I've conducted many
times over. You don't want to show your results, fine, just admit it, but
please stop telling me to do what you know I've done. I've done the tests
for myself, I've done them for Dan, and I've twice made the scans he's used
for his tests.

As for others, not everybody does have the capability to conduct these
tests, and all they hear is "it's image dependant", or from you that your
images posterize EASILY. My article demonstrated that many of my images can
take robust manipulations without detriment, and I, and perhaps others,
might be interested to know why your images are more vulnerable to it than
mine. It could help to explain WHY there is debate at all on the subject,
and why it is not as cut and dry as some might have them believe. I though
"show and tell" might be more illustrative than tell and tell and tell and
tell.

Now, if you don't care enough to put the energy into it I FULLY understand
that, but please stop making it seems like it's other peoples unwillingness.
