Hi Mario--I think one of the issues is that so much of stuttering (research and therapy) is based on Dogma, rather than true science. And one doesn't get personal about true science, as the goal is simply to reveal reality. Dogma--however, is something entirely different. It's a personal belief (w/ or w/o any shred of evidence), and so people have a sense of greater personal ownership. (Don't disagree with my ideas, because you're disagreeing with me!) (Almost akin to going up to someone and saying, "Your favorite band stinks.") *** *** *** And Ed--I think your conclusion may not be entirely correct. I intentionally didn't respond to your earlier question because it really didn't ask anything specific. I'll answer specific questions with specific answers, but I don't have the time or emotional energy to provide some kind of diatribe at your whim. So that deafening silence may represent busy people intentionally not responding to an unanswerable question or poorly communicated concept, rather than some type of conspiracy to halt progress.
