If a doctor was responsible for the murders.......................

Hi Lynn



I don't like to brag, but I think I cracked it there.

If you´ve got it, flaunt it, Tracy!

She was--when in SWEDEN.

What do you think she was doing in the yard?

Yes. You THINK.

Stands to reason. Speaking of...

You mean REASONING? Please be aware that LOGIC is the STUDY of reasoning.

logic
noun
1.
reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.

Faulty? To be sure. I tried to match YOUR reasoning so you could understand where you had gone astray.

You were making false analogies, that's what you were doing.

Am I to understand that time was NOT of the essence on the open street (Buck's Row) and under the windows of #29 Hanbury? Yet knife skill was shown there.

We KNOW that the killer had a narrow window of opportunity with Eddowes, we don't know this was the same for Nichols or Chapman, do we?

For your next point, 5 murders, two on the same day, and three different days of the week. What's the pattern in that?

All five murders occurred at the weekend or the day before. That means, in your book, you've got multiple killers all with a similar schedule?

Finally, if we are accomplishing nothing, why don't we break off?

That's fair enough, I don't have the patience for protracted internet debates these days.

deferential

Hello Tracy. Thanks.

I defer to you.

lacking

Hello Trevor. Thanks.

If you are contending that it was no doctor, then you are preaching to the choir. My point of departure is that Polly and Annie exhibited certain commonalities which Kate did not. As a detective yourself, I'm sure you recognise the import.

punctus contra punctum

Hello Harry. Thanks.

"What do you think she was doing in the yard?"

Haven't the foggiest. IF she were soliciting, she was a fool.

Since my PhD was in PRECISELY the field of logic, I think it were better for you NOT to adduce the dictionary. Recall: those who work in the field retain a pure vocabulary concerning what they do.

"You were making false analogies, that's what you were doing."

Please be aware that, there is no such thing as a false analogy. ANY two things can be compared. Of course, there are better and worse correlations between the analogans and analogandum. Perhaps that is what you were trying to say?

Actually, I was trying to exhibit the flaw in your reasoning. But it was lost on you.

"We KNOW that the killer had a narrow window of opportunity with Eddowes, we don't know this was the same for Nichols or Chapman, do we?"

We most certainly do.

"All five murders occurred at the weekend or the day before. That means, in your book, you've got multiple killers all with a similar schedule?"

That's 3/7--almost half. Surely there is no significance here? Ah! But perhaps since there were no Wednesday murders . . . ?

"That's fair enough, I don't have the patience for protracted internet debates these days."

Nor yet I. Hence, let us append coda have done with it.

Hello EWC. Thanks.

One may "believe" (I think that was your word) whatever one wishes. But I still prefer evidence.

Cheers.
LC

Yes of course, but does one already possess the evidence?

inquest

Hello EWC. Thanks.

Our best evidence is from inquest.

Hi fish, tji and Lc
No not at all that wacky. Simply that the murders(for the six victims most consider most likely to be connected by a single killer) were at the beginning and then subsequently at the end of the month.

The possible implications being simply that the pattern may establish that they were all from a single killer, that he was employed,and could indicate that his employment might have had something to do with the pattern (ie., his job prohibited somehow for killing in the middle of the month).

But I'm not surprised that these simple facts and inferences could be lost on someone who thinks the ripper was a combination of a bat **** crazy butcher and some kind of conspiracy, someone who thinks it was a simple witness on his way to work, and someone who thinks the ripper is one of the last in a long line of Crazy Jew suspects that was initiated by a senile racist braggart.

Would there be any reason for a carmans work to take him out of the game in the middle of the month?
Perhaps that is the question you should be asking instead of blindly mocking and ignoring a very simple and obvious pattern to the killings.

[lynn cates]

alpha and omega--and nothing else

Hello Abby. Thanks.

Yes, it IS lost on me. How can the 9th of the month count as the beginning?

If the first 9 days of the month are the beginning and the last 9 the ending, then, statistically, OF COURSE they would take place then. What's left?

Cheers.

I am not mocking you, Abby - I thought you were joking and I appreciated the joke.
If, however, you were NOT joking, well ...

I don´t think that the pattern you describe is something very significant. We lack any killings in the 10th-20th category, but that is by the smallest of margins. I wouldn´t invest too dearly in it.

Lechmere would reasonably not have any cause to be "out of the game" in mid months.

Hi Abby

So what is your hypothesis on who the ripper was, his motive etc?

Now there is something we agree on.
