Tangotiger v Rodney Fort

In the past several days, I had a very lengthy email discussion with Rodney Fort (Professor of Sport Management, University of Michigan) on the topic of replacement level.  Every single word of our email has been captured in this PDF (16 pages, but only 75KB), and I have it formatted for ease of reading.  There is some slight changes to the ordering of our statements, so that I could keep it threaded well-enough.  I encourage all to take the time to read it.  I think it’ll be worth the ten or thirty minutes it’ll take to get through it.

I want to thank Rodney for the very interesting discussion, and I hope that both our points of view come across well enough, and that there is an opportunity for a firm consensus between academics and non-academics.
