>> oh, and for the record, a lot of the syntheses in tikhal and pikhal have _intentional_ omissions and errors, which makes those texts mostly useless from a synthetic standpoint.

I've never heard this said before. Can you be more specific or point to a reference I could read on this?

[conformal]

just like most people who are sasha fanboys, you obviously have zero domain knowledge on this subject.

try them out yourself, see what happens.

No, it doesn't work that way. When you make a claim, and someone politely asks for a source, you don't get to go "LOL ur dumb" and think that constitutes a reply. "Try it yourself" doesn't work either, since I'm sure you didn't do that. Only crackpots get angry when asked reasonably to show their work.

In what world is that a reasonable response to GP asking you for a reference for further reading?

[Nursie]

I don't have access to equipment or precursors.

I'm still waiting for a reference. I'm genuinely interested.
