True, Peter Garrison is a writer for an aviation magazine that largely
deals with GA aircraft and related topics. Garrison also has built and
flown at least two of his own experimental Melmoth airplanes however, so
it wouldn't seem that he has much of a bias against experimental aircraft.

I'm generally in agreement with your posts, and enjoy your writing style, but I'm inclined to think Peter Garrison is not unduly biased against experimental airplanes.  True, he does write for Flying, but he has designed and built two of his own airplanes.  That sounds pretty experimental to me.
 
Jack and Tom,
 
Yeah, see what happens when someone goes off half cocked (or was that crocked).  I did read this:
 
Peter Garrison’s Melmoth 2
After 21 years of on again, off again construction time, Flying magazine writer Peter Garrison finally completed his all-composite Melmoth 2—and after a last minute paint job, flew it to Oshkosh where it was displayed in front of Flying’s colorful pavilion. Powered by a 200-hp Continental TSIO-360-A, Melmoth 2 is a long distance cruiser: its wing holds 142 gallons of fuel! 

Peter’s article on the airplane was the cover story in the August 2003 issue of Flying.

And also:

I am sure he thinks his airplane is superior in every way.  So I will change my argument to one that would take into account his self-interest in his self-crafted craft.  Perhaps a different bias.

Otherwise, here we are just 5 months into 2006 and I am wrong again.  OK, I withdraw all commentary about Mr. Garrison leanings since I have not read his stuff.  Here, at the institution, the library is limited to magazines like Psychiatry Today with articles such as "Flights of Fancy are Almost Normal",  "Meditation Can Lead to Less Navel Lint" or "Medication Can Calm Your Nerves When Someone Else is Landing the Plane." Hmmmm, did I mis-place some title words?
