Part of the problem was that I was looking at it in the afternoon, and the
traffic was slow. This morning, with the Americans still in their beds, it
loads maybe ten times faster (including pages I didn't look at yesterday,
so it's not just getting them from a local cache). It also looks much more
readable on a PC than it does on a Macintosh. So I looked more specifically
at the HTML, and find that it was prepared by Word 97, so like any
micro$oft product it assumes that everyone has the fonts that come with
wintel machines.
However, the serious point remains: a file of 53 kbytes containing numerous
images of similar sizes is too big for the casual reader, and even the
serious reader is likely to lose patience unless it's early in the morning
and the transfers are fast.
The "the minute details of babies and humans" (aren't babies humans as
well?) look fine (once they've loaded), but I worry about the science. For
example, how convinced are you by arguments like "If a patient's diet
incorporates evolutionary undeveloped species of plants and animals (for
instance, Algae - Spirulina Porphyra, Laminaria, etc. -
Mollusca, Chondrichthyes, Amphibia, etc.) and uses the biomass of juvenile
species he stands a chance to enrich his own biological tissues with
juvenile chemical matter, a building material corresponding in its
composition to a young organism. Another important consideration is the
habitat of the organism whose biomass is used for the preparation of
food. From that point of view foodstuffs that come from highlands or cold
seas and cold areas have a high rejuvenating value."? Do you think these
are the sort of conclusions one can reach on the basis of mathematical and
thermodynamic arguments, or do you think some biological data might be
needed also?
