DAOS 4G

[Shannon]

That's not what was being discussed

Nice try, but that is what was being discussed. Faulty logic. People who commit logic errors do so because they don't know they're doing it. Which is why they think they are being logical, when they're not.

In the end, you guys are going to be welcome to use DAOS or DMSI or whatever else. Just don't go knocking DMSI if you're not using it correctly, and if you are using it correctly, keep reporting so I can know what needs work.

But don't start thinking that just because you aren't getting the results you want with DMSI that its design is faulty or that we need to go back to the good old days of 4G. That's faulty thinking. The reason we had the good old days of 5G and then I spent the last year and a half working on 5.5G is because in the good old days of 4G, it was easy to make stuff, but it wasn't very effective.

Likewise, a partially cut diamond won't be something that refracts light correctly in all viewing angles.

DMSI's design is good and uses sound logic in all phases of construction. I have yet to fully understand what all I am working with, how the resistance works, and how to deal with it. But that does not mean the current design for 5.5G/6G skeleton script, or DMSI, is somehow inferior to an 8 year old 4G program. That thinking is so ridiculous it's laughable.

There are only two reasons anyone would be running DAOS when DMSI is available. One is, they can't handle DMSI. The other is, they like DAOS because of the price and/or simplicity with regards to what it accomplishes for them. Some are here for the former; some are here for the latter. The former is just the running away I was talking about. The latter, well, generally if you have a copy of DMSI, you won't be using DAOS without being a run away type.

And once again... all the complaining about how DAOS is better than DMSI only makes sense if DMSI matters to you, and it would not matter to you if it really didn't work, or you didn't have a copy, and were running away from it.

I don't care if you (as in any of you, not one particular person) use DAOS. I do care if you (again, as in any of you, not one particular person) are trashing a program that makes DAOS look ridiculous in comparison because you don't like that you can't handle what it's demanding from you in order to get the results.

That's not helping me make DMSI better. The goal of public testing and you agreeing to be a tester by buying DMSI was to help me make it better - not attack my intelligence or my work. When DMSI 3.x final comes out, then you're welcome to attack DMSI all you like as long as you have a genuine and valid point. But attacking DMSI while choosing an 8 year old 4G progenitor of DMSI because you think it's better is not just ridiculous, it's... running away.
