THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[fundamental design]

Chris, good post. I actually was not anticipating something that good. *Applaud*

FD, your thought was interesting. I don't agree with it nor do I see it as logical. Have you heard of Occam's Razor? It is a logic razor, meaning something that "shaves" off unneeded flaws in logic. It basically says the easiest explanation is more likely the correct explanation. More precisely "Occam's razor is a logical razor which states that one should never make more assumptions than the minimum necessary to explain something; or, if you don't have explicit evidence to believe that something is true, then you should not." This relates to your idea as you are grasping to the idea that a hint can not lead you closer the treasure in any way because clues are what get you close r to the treasure. It is similar to letters build words, but words build sentences. Your idea implies letters do not build sentences, and if they do then they only make the first word.
That justseemsillogical.
With that said, Im not saying you're wrong. This is a seven year Treasure hunt and if it was all logical it would have been solved by now. I'd just like to say knock off the "it's logic" crap because 1. It makes you come off as something I can't say because I'm following forum rules and 2. Its a bit hypocritical knowing you and others got on Davis's case a couple years back where he did exactly what you're doing now.

Itchy, I don't care if you don't agree with what I've said. But, it's basically the same thing Chris has said with just a slight twist where I don't think the hints repeat themselves throughout the poem and he does. I mentioned that I think hints come in tttotc and the first stanza of the poem. Of course, I'm right on the first part because f has told us that numerous times. Plus, the word hint is in the first stanza which I have spoken about. For Chris' idea about hints being throughout the poem to help repeat or reinforce the correct starting location (paraphrased), I think there's a major flaw in that when in comes to the structure of continuous and contiguous. I feel your directing your razor at the wrong approach.

I still maintain it's logical to make sure one understand f's definition of what a clue is and what a hint is. Especially if one believes there are hint(s) in the poem. I don't think anyone can follow the clues precisely in the poem if you don't follow the definitions of the two given by the man who designed it all.

And no this is nothing at all like what Mdavis did. You don't have the right to say that.
