A Response to Kent D. Clarke

Abstract

"The first thing anyone interested in this matter should do is read the chapter in question, read my review, and then draw his or her own conclusion. Clarke's "Rebuttal" imputes to my review something that is not found in it. He says that I have accused him and his coauthor of "omitting" "information." He writes: One can only infer from Petersen's comments that he failed to read the entirety of our article; in it, Bales and I provide in unambiguous detail the very information Petersen accuses us of carelessly omitting: [Clarke then quotes from his and Bales' chapter, where they paraphrase the differences between the definitions of the letter rankings in GNT3 and GNT4] [par. 3 in Clarke's "Rebuttal"]."(pg 1)
