"But I would much rather discuss technical issues than personal ones."

Then we're on the same page. And I apologise for any perceived affront.

Let me redirect your attention to the challenge: can you and the others come up with mutually satisfactory criteria for a necessarily limited experiment?

I advised Volte against starting this thread, but she wouldn't listen to reason.
I think the thread should be either deleted or closed.
If anyone is really interested in L-R and/or sharing parallel texts, PM Volte, she will know what to do with it. I can share all I have (plenty in many languages).
The rule is simple:
you give, you get.

Good luck,
and forgive me for being such a nuisance.

I am still lurking on this thread- I just don't have anything to contribute, but I'm very attracted to the method.

Cainntear, your position goes something like this: "If an experiment isn't rigourous enough to meet criteria for scientific publication, then it is completely unusable."

I just thought I'd point out your intellectual dishonesty for the onlookers.

Who knew that listening and reading were so acrimonious...

Since when is language learning an exact science? >_> Or has it always been one, and did I just miss it?
