Insulting to Geographic Information Science i ve not seen one person argue with your view statistically speaking however you have basically besieged an entire field of research with your views Nvj are you a statistician neither am i noone is accusing you of being wrong get it learn how to write an academic article perhaps I highly dislike your edits of spatial dependence for example you draw the discussion of a valid field of statistics geography topology and topography and turn it into an argument against kriging I m sure that there is a conspiracy group somewhere that you may participate in eg I think it is all because of the freemasons however geography is a serious science the applications of which i m certain that you have not truly studied or understood currently I work for the government in the analysis and creation of geographic information while i can appreciate your argument on kriging i do not believe that it belongs in the majority of articles concerning GIScience related topics as that is what geostatistics is Personally I do not use kriging in the limited analysis that i do perform I prefer the triangulated irregular network or the distance weighted average
