Mr. Bowman, In my opinion, "denied" might be too strong a claim for Colwell's wording below -- after all, for those who, for decades, had continued to misuse...
Dear all, I am sorry that I cannot post my thoughts on CRI using using/abusing the "Colwell's rule", though very much eager to as it touches the greek. This is...
