Whether it was stated in 1990 or 2018 the meaning is still the same.</div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p>That is the same way I read it and nobody questioned this. But you use this one quoted sentence as proof for the following statement in your article: <em>With nothing in the way, the Marshall Plan and SCAP — with an eye on the future — rebuilt the railway systems as straight as practicable.</em></p> <p>And that your interpretation of the quote from the Washington Post doesn't say. It defines the described time frame, the 1990s, with modern prosperous cities and production of jet fighters. These two quotes have a completely different meaning. And again neither the German railway system nor most likely the Japanese cape gauge system were rebuilt with high speed in mind.</p> <p>The Japanese system only most likely because it is based only on facts I know about the Shinkansen.</p> <p> </p> <div class="quote-header"> </div> <blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user">243129</div> <div class="quote-content">"Perhaps" tells me that you are not sure that it is incorrect.

I'm sure that my German facts are correct and your assumptions in the above quote from your article are wrong.</p> <p>I have provided a lot of fact, except the one article that doesn't fit?<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>The last sentence of my quoted post needs a correction. I should have been the following from the beginning:</p> <p>I have provided a lot of facts. What other facts can you provide except the one article that doesn't fit.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
