Although I would hate to be disrespectful of my friend and colleague Al Bregman, I would like to keep the discussion "public". After all, the hearing community is pretty small as is. Why fracture a family into minuscule sub-families? Even if one does not understand everything in a given argument, the gist and the trust do transpire and, in some idiosyncratic manner, they end up bettering our imperfect understanding of the mysteries of hearing.
