The other day,

""A forefront of corona infection battle" sent by a doctor to an engineer"

I received the second e-mail from Dr.Shibata,"Shibata, the cutting in two under train wheels" the author of this column.

Today, in response to the email, I will a "Request email from me (Ebata)" sent to me by Dr.Shibata.

====== From here ======

Dear Dr.Shibata.

I read your email.

Basically, I don't think there is a logical contradiction between the email I received last time and the one I received this time.

You wrote "change of opinion" yourself, but I couldn't feel anything wrong.

It was a remarkable "supplement" that strengthened the previous content.

That aside.

-----

At the moment, the content of Dr.Shibata's e-mail, which has been published by me, as my my contribution, has over 5,000 tweets and messages.

I have read all of these messages (true). Many readers seem to understand the content of Dr.Shibata's previous email correctly, and have come up with the same conclusions as Dr.Shibata's email this time.

This is, in my experience, a pretty “miracle” situation.

Both EE Times Japan and I were preparing for the premise of "Flame", but at the moment no flame has occurred.

I think this is because Dr.Shibata's content has solved the two difficult (conflicting) issues, that is the content has a logical structure while while snuggling up with the reader.

However, this means that only those who have the ability to understand Dr.Shibata's content are likely to be "selected".

-----

By the way,

In this SNS message, the word "long" appears almost entirely.

In the field of my engineers, we do not call this content "long."

After all, Dr.Shibata's column is written in Japanese, without jargon, and in colloquial language.

Compared to the fact that we engineers read more than 30 patent specifications (including English text sometimes) over 30 pages in one day, he burden of reading this column is likely that,

"At the elegant tea party where the cherry blossoms are blooming, while making to a haiku poem, with hearing birdsong"

Well, it may be unusually long for a web article, however, all of my articles are basically long.

This may be an evidence that I (we?) are at 2-3 σ with the average of society.

(Every rude junior emphasizes it and scolds me.)

Restless talk

-----

If you are not annoyed about this email (the 2nd ) of Dr.Shibata, I would like to make it public on our website.

There is no public relations power like EE Times Japan, however for "many readers"

(Honestly speaking, it doesn't matter, but just for "me")

I am convinced that the content must be kept.

So I may make some tampering to make it easier for me in the future to read.

I hope that we will work as the followings, as an approach, (Step.1) I edit, (Step.2) Dr.Shibata checks, (Step.3) If we get the final OK, (Step.4) I disclose the URL on my blog.

I will do it without the burden of Dr.Shibata, so I would appreciate it if you could consider it.(I do not think there is a need for super-early publication like the last time)

Thank you for your continued support.

Tomoichi Ebata
