I am not mocking you I simply can not understand why you would continue to stump for a position which has no basis in proper scholarship I do not need to demonstrate that the NSF does not hold this position you need to demonstrate that it does hold this position and for that you are going to need something more than a single taken out of context footnote from an outdated revision of a document on a different topic The argument you are defending not you mind you but the argument itself is stupid That is not a matter of interpretation or a matter for disagreement it s a stupid argument Either come up with something more credble or give it up
