Dr. Minniti always presents a useful, intellectually valid, professionally correct presentation in an area that many espouse a knowledge but few can appreciate how little they really know. Dr. Minniti reveals the deficiency of knowledge in a truly kind and engaging way. I appreciate all of Dr. Minniti's work, but he outdid himself in this presentation. Thank you.
