In each failing scenario stick A is a common factor.

In each failing scenario B2 is a common factor.

It can be concluded that A and B2 do not work together. However, I cannot conclude whether this is only due to A, or only due to B2 or both.

Stick A - ver 9A4  works

Stick B - ver 9B2 works

N.B. same software installation on same computer.

 

Logically to me that means stick A has a peculiar fault that causes a problem with ver 9B2

From
Stick A - ver 9B2 does not work
Stick B - ver 9B2 works
you deduce that stick A must be faulty because B works with 9B2, but A does not. Sounds logical, no doubt.

From
Stick A - ver 9A4 works
Stick A - ver 9B2 does not work
one can deduce with exactly the same logic that 9B2 must be faulty because 9A4 works with A, but 9B2 does not.

Both conclusions follow the same logic.

So A is faulty or 9B2 is faulty or both.

This was my point. I think this was a sensible and objective contribution to this topic.

Apparently one may only write something here that suits your plans.

I do find it odd that a user would just sign up to specifically comment on someone’s logic and not even respond to any replies to those comments

But then you don’t need to find it odd when people you scared don't want to answer anymore.

ok you state your opinion  which Is your right, but back them up with hard facts

Only logic was important to me and not which side was right.

Excuse me please. But I could have guessed that based on your nickname.

 I have given my opinion, I will stick to it and I have nothing more to contribute.

IMHO It cannot be the software as the software works with another stick with the same license version.

And in Freiwald's HO it cannot be the stick as the stick works with another version. Same logic, isn't ist?

I don't want to defend somebody here. I don't care who is right. But I am reluctant if someone thinks something is logical and something else not that follows the same logic just because the other does not suit his plans. That is my point.

I find it rather difficult to accept that you have randomly come across a post in an obscure part of a specialised forum just at the time when there is something you disagree with, 

Don't you notice that exactly the same goes for Shirleybasm? The only difference is that he agrees with something. Is that easier to accept for you because you agree with him?

BTW: I've been following this part of the forum for several months now because I'm looking for a new program. I did not come across this randomly. And I don't suppose Shirleybasm either.

I was actually hoping to find professional decision-making aids for my program selection in this forum. Unfortunately, I mainly find quite a bit of bashing here combined with the tendency to allow only one direction as an opinion. Too bad.

Why do I get the feeling that you have just joined the forum to defend Herr Freiwald?

I registered here to express my opinion on this topic. Just like Shirleybasm, who also signed up on Thursday. Or was he allowed to do this because his opinion fit into your worldview?

maybe a parable but is certainly not backed up by hard evidence which I have asked for, how he can be so certain the stick is not at fault. 

I assume that he knows his software very well. If he is convinced that it is not due to the stick, then in my eyes it is quite weighty.

If you don't trust his expertise, I would look for another program.

This is another email I got from mr F. This certainly has some strange logic and could border on being sexist.

I don't find the logic strange. It may not be easy to understand. But in my eyes it's not sexismus, it's more a parable.  He compares your point of view with something he says himself is nonsense to show how nonsensical it is in his eyes. As I said, maybe difficult to understand, but not illogical.

He also says that it can't be because of the stick, but must be a difference in the software if 9a4 works for you with the stick, but 9b2 doesn't. That also sounds logical to me.
