I just read the main part of the paper by Donald E. Scott, and to me it is clear that he is very stuck in the E-j paradigm of plasma physics, and is heavily kicking against the B-v paradigm. Both paradigms have been shown to be equal (which they must be, as Maxwell's equations combined with equotions of motions, can either be solved for E-j or for B-v.

All, the complaints about magnetic field lines seems so old, when reading the paper. I am not impressed with what Scott is writing.
