Reply #49: You don't need to know about the statistics of functions

[muriel_volestrangler]

you need to be able to count. Here are the lists that supposedly shows a correspondence, again (since you haven't addressed it yet):

English reigns  Byzantine
29              16 
2               13 
12              42
2               7
39              17 
13              0    (Leo II, who he misses out)
14              17
0               27
30              9
16              38
38

There is no match. Just look at the numbers! The only one in common is the 38 at the end. Using his lottery analogy, it's like saying you won because one of your numbers was right, and the other five were all within 6 of the 5 numbers drawn. Since Fomenko is claiming the ones on the left were made up, then he needs to show an exact correspondence with the Byzantine ones, otherwise it means nothing.

Fomenko doesn't use the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle - he's claiming it's a fake. He's claiming that all European history before about 1300 is faked. If there are any primary sources before that that he trusts, then name them. Tell us why he thinks the others are faked. His functions of reigns don't prove anything. They are just pretty pictures, designed to fool the gullible.
