a) the dramatic difference between standard and procedural terrain resolution and..."

In Vue6 the difference was dramatic, as we all know. In the thread I mentioned I showed you that I couldn't see any difference in Vue7 between standard and procedural. If you can see dramatic differences, please show them, I would love to see them and discuss the terms of the comparison (if I'm allowed to discuss anything with you...).

Quote - "b) the ghastly side artifacts which disfigure procedural terrains unless you shove them under the rug with the scaling trick."

In the tests I made, I found no artifacts. This is simply what I stated. You may find cases with artifacts in your tests. That is ok, from my point of view. We would simply then arrive to the conclusion that artifacts exist in some situations and don't exist in others. Is this a problem to you?

I also value rationality and truth. It was precisely because of this that I tried to correct the imprecisions of your text, from my point of view. Am I not allowed to disagree with you?

Like you, I also made tests. I simply told you what the results of my tests were. Is it wrong to compare test results?

I always assume (maybe wrongly) that when someone opens a thread it's to discuss about something because it's from discussion that discoveries are born, IMO. Do you not want discussion?

In a modeller I see the need to have a clay render (to see the details of a model in an unbiased way). In Vue (a landscape creation tool) I personally don't see this need. Why would someone need a clay render of a landscape? Maybe someone needs it, I personally don't.

You already did it once, remember? ;-)
Anyway, I think you're overreacting to my post (and to my posts in general). I must say I don't understand what's so wrong with my post. I disagreed with you. Do you always turn your back when someone disagrees with you? I remember you doing just that with me in at least two other threads.

Well, if you don't want me to disagree with you, I guess the only way would be to leave the forum, as I have no intention of leaving and I surely have no intentions of not speaking my mind just so that you are satisfied. Sorry...
