Of course everyone who has actually been following this discussion knows that this is drivel. No one claimed that about the Tueller exercise, and it's purpose and value have been described by a number of posters and in sources linked to in posts, including Tueller's own article.

Either you're being intentionally obtuse and argumentative or you're lack the facility to understand the subjects being discussed.
