Then can I suggest that you fix on one or two problems that you feel to have 
maximum impact.  The current scatter-gun approach does not lend itself to 
deeper investigation.

I never say 'there is no problem'.  I do sometimes (often?) say 'there is no 
problem here' - not the same thing at all, but it does suggest that the issue 
is not simply something that no-one got around to considering.  You have made 
a few personal remarks such as this recently.  Please stop.  They will not 
have any effect on me, so they are pointless and simply lower the tone of the 
discussion.

On occasions where I have seen you to be looking at something objectively, and 
I can see some evidence of the problem, I have happily joined your 
investigation, as witness the recent occasion when you requested, and got, a 
sample file for investigation.
