There are two statements here David. Two sentences, not one you see ?
And as I said in my last post it was not my intention for them to be
read as one point, or as a clarification oh behalf of Ron N.... he can
handle that :)

Well we certainly see this as well. However, and again I respond only as
you bring up the question as to what Ron meant (or didnt) yourself.....

 "Even members of the technical community disagree on what's what, so
how are the pianists expected to know what their tech may very well not?
-- Ron N"

If one first wants to get into interpreting others words, I suppose you
could read both "aggreement" and "understanding" into this quote.
