Cross examination techniques......and the issue regarding John Yeh was
never answered by Jonathan. Why not? Maybe because he treats it as a
debate......someone to win or lose.....rather than present truth. Debates
don't always provide truth.....just an award for someone who argued better
that day......that's all.
