LOL ... by that lenient standard, the first racehorse out of the gate, or the first sprinter out of the blocks, can reasonably be proclaimed "the clear winner" ... before the race is even finished!
That's a rational announcement only for very short races. Surely there is very little evidence that the course that finishes at comprehensive understanding of Nature's dynamics ... is a short course?
As for my own opinions in regard to quantum dynamical systems, they are more along the lines of here are some questions that are mathematically well-posed and are interesting to engineers and scientists alike ... and definitely not along the lines of "here are the answers to those questions"!
Actually I clearly and explicitly went out of my way to say I wasn't asserting that.
Bored of being laughed at out loud now. (Twice in one short thread is enough.) Bye.
Goodbye, gjm. The impetus that your posts provided to post thought-provoking mathematical links will be missed. :)
