But there is supporting fact, your erroneous statements that are completely
contrary to other people's use and report of use.

But you can't!  I've seen others, and done my own, and the SD-9 is no where
near "color accurate" with a Mcbeth color chart!

Without knowing exactly what you've done, they are pretty much useless as
proof of anything.  I KNOW what I've gotten out of the camera, and I've also
been substantiated by countless other people who have gotten the same
results as I have...

Certainly not when there is nothing to be broadened, and your information is
clearly flawed!  This isn't unusual with you, you seem to live on an
entirely different planet with entirely different laws of physics...and I'm
not the only one who has pointed this out many times.  It's almost like
you're trolling...and this happens on every list I've been on that you're
on.  You make outlandish claims, and dozens of people jump on you and tell
you that your claims don't coincide with their personal experience, and
typically, no one else supports your claims.
