tipping point, page-2

Hi Lopez,

I really think they have the tipping point concept wrong in a significant way, A tipping point can describe the flow of the tide where each day the water flows out, comes into balance and then and as the gravity effect of the moon moves around the world it reaches a tipping point and the water gently starts flowing back the other way.

It can also decribe the pressures on a dam wall where it builds up to a point and the whole structure capitulates and there is a massive and sudden increase in flow. i'd call that a capitualtion point rather than a tipping point!

The constant and increasing pressure of more and more well documented proof of significant technical and financial advantages of QFT over TST is currently like the old amway effect. 1 doctor convinces 2 convinces 4 convinces 8 etc and we have sales doubling. Once enough peer revues have been and the rest of the industry reads the advantages the rest have to capitulate and change or be seen to be using an old discredited test, not good for a career in a scientifc sense.

The only thing holding this back is the acceptance by the registering authorities like the FDA (complete), the old habits of current practitioners and the physical ability to change. There is a lot of pressure building behind that dam wall of the 90 year habit of using TST and I wont be surprised if the said tipping point is a capitualtion point instead, but that is only my opinion.

Cheers
