You did not look very well.

The article by T.L. Freeman exists. It is in: http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Journal-Irreproducible-Result...

You're not looking very well either. The author / pen-name / anything sounding anything like the article isn't in any of the information on the Amazon page, nor is it anywhere in JIR's list of 'selected pseudonyms'. Google searches of www.jir.com find nothing, nor does going through a large portion of the site that I could find.

To be clear, I admit it's possible, maybe even likely. But nobody has shown any evidence that it's true, just a claim and a link to a page that does nothing to support it.

It is not on the internet, so it doesn't exist?

I happen to have that bundle somewhere in my basement but won't bother to dig it up. I remember that joke-publication quite well.

Even if it's not to be found on the web, it's at least referenced by others. That's an easy find.

Note that that one was published in '91, so before the article by Professor Pi.

Not at all. But if it's not on either site pointed to as evidence, it's not evidence. It's like saying "unicorns exist, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wombat ". Or "unicorns exist, I have a photo in my basement". Why would I expect anyone to take that as proof?

No, you pose this as an argumentum ex silentio instead of a simply asking for a link to the reference or even a copy of the article. So why should I be bothered to dig this thing out of my library?

Well, at least I gave you a reference to the article. Finding that reference should have taken you no more than two minutes.
