THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[fundamental design]

“you were falsely claiming that you could know that a searcher has not solved any clues because they had not "showed anything"

-no, I was not claiming that.

so I suppose you've been backed into a corner and instead of admitting you are wrong you are trying to re-write history

everyone who read that thread knows what you were saying. it is black and white and very simple

you were knocking mdavis on that thread and the points he made on that thread (from years ago) by claiming that he hasn't shown any progress in solving the clues

again, this is what you said, this is what you claimed, and everyone who read it knows what you were saying

you can deny it if you want. this discussion can't go anywhere from here obviously if you won't acknowledge what you said

and again the point I made at the time was very simple. you can't claim to know that any searcher has not made progress (like you were claiming with mdavis) because it is simply not possible to see any progress from any searcher, before the treasure is found

I wasn’t claiming to know that Mdavis hasn’t made progress. I was claiming that he hasn’t “shown” any progress. Me saying “Mdavis hasn’t shown anything that shows that he has gotten any closer to figuring out the first clue, or beyond, by bypassing searching for book hints” means just that. My focus was on the first four words of the sentence “Mdavis hasn’t shown anything (while implying with his poem purist view)”. He hasn’t show any progress. Again, I don’t care what the reason is for why he hasn’t shown it. I win with any reason.

Care to explain what you mean by this “as most people know, f has been making comments since that seem to indicate someone is making progress. again, the treasure hasn't been found yet, but whoever this person(s) is/are, they are not "showing anything" otherwise we would know who they are...”

Are you saying we would know who is making progress if they showed something of the correct solve?
