I have no idea whether he has any skill as a photographer, but the
comments I've seen him make on theoretical concepts are totally
clueless. He's not quite as deluded as The Preddiot, but he's in the
same weight-class.

I'd have to disagree with that. I had a number of long drawn-out
arguments with Timo in this newsgroup several years ago, but I have to
say that The Preddiot is worse.

Timo is pretty firmly convinced of his own rightness, and tends to
disparage the personal integrity of anyone who disagrees with him. But
if you argue with him in minute detail about something he says that is
clearly wrong, he will eventually see that. He'll never say "I was
wrong", but he will abandon wrong positions eventually if you prove
he's wrong. It just isn't worth the work to do so.

Timo does care about telling people the truth; it's just that he's
sometimes wrong and it's incredibly hard to demonstrate that to his
satisfaction. He's also put a lot of time and effort into thinking
about image processing and setting up his pages; it's too bad they are
sometimes misleading.

But "George Preddy" just makes ridiculous statements, with no reasonable
argument to back them up. And he won't support what he says - he
ignores questions from other people. He's effectively an output-only
device with no regard for the truth at all. Nor does he seem capable of
much original argument; he mostly just parrots Foveon marketing hype.
