I honor Dr. Bates for the work that he did. But I try to separate two specific issues that Bates was concerned with.
1. The tendency of the eye to go DOWN when you place a minus lens on it. This was probably the spur that drove Dr. Bates to conduct his successful 1913 study. I call this the recognization of a problem. I think we all agree on this issue.
