: Are you suggesting that all information is equal in value? Are you suggesting that technicians have the slightest inkling of what ticks in an artist's head and their motivations?

Again, the original post involved a technical question. No contributor to this thread has claimed that technicians have anything to offer beyond a specific, narrow expertise, or that technicians should be consulted regarding emotional or motivational issues, or even regarding methodology. In that regard, it's silly to suggest that a conservator's understanding of the structural integrity of artwork is irrevalent.
A collegue of mine suggested to me that you wanted to cloud the issue because your company, Studioproducts, sells Rabbit Skin glue but not PVA. If so that is unfortunate because your products appear to be of good quality, and are capable of standing on their own without diversionary tactics.
I have no vested interest in trying to pursuade you, or anyone else, to accept the viewpoint of a third party. Ross Merrill's comments were posted because they offered a qualified viewpoint on Jack's original question. Anyone on this forum that takes issue with his statements can email me and I will provide contact information so that you can debate the issue with him personally. As you indicated, information gathered from various sources is never equivalent, and I think the readers of this forum are intelligent enough to weigh the value of what they read, and decide for themselves whether or not it has merit.
