Peter, Your arguments make little sense. For the record, I know exactly how SLMs operate, having worked side-by-side with some of the best speech scientists in

I know! Thus my surprise. I'm not "pro bad systems", but I am very much against "bad testing". I know you love to turn people's arguments back on themselves,

That is one of the funniest things anyone has declared to/about me in a long time. Never mind, Peter. You go on standing up for those systems. They need all

P.S. When you say "but I see it as managing errors rather than reducing them" - I see it as the opposite. An SLM's main aim is to reduce the absolute error
