He dodged the primary questions I asked regarding the construction of original TK rings regarding the sizing seam and why weren't the cast in one piece and so forth. As far as I can see he is a "True Believer" and nothing contrary to his beliefs matters.
So be it and as far as I'm concerned we're beating a dead horse. I don't think he swayed anyone's opinion and we're all seen the quality ring someone like Hapur can produce using dies. I for one will stick by my belief that they were made using dies.
