Hi Rob,

Yeah, it's very hard to state that someone is wrong here, right there etc., etc. I have noticed that Ayoob has a tendency to contradict himself on occassion, but then again as I process new data, I change my mind also! Problems come about when you can't explain to your audience that things have changed..

I guess the flip side of that is the guy who gets identified as only having one position.. Sort of like Cooper and the 1911. Truthfully, if you read his stuff, he thinks it's the best, but he will also state that the gun is a very small subset of the equation.

The Turpin article that really pissed me off involved Turpin complaining that PHC's advice to be very cautious of the hippo (hippi?) was bunk. My PH treated river crossings like we were walking up to a wounded buff. Everybody was locked, loaded and assigned a zone to watch. Hell, we rehersed the drill in camp!

Interesting point, my PH was very cautious with buff, hippo and lions. Everything else just something to shoot.

Time for work!
