Why has Arp not applied his considerable statistical prowess to explain why there are so few examples of such extraordinarily unlikely alignments?

Hi Thanatos,
It has been correctly pointed out that ATM supporters should know well the Mainstream theory they are challenging. The same holds true for Mainstreamers who wish to show the errors in ATM ideas. For you to say that Arp "has only one very controversial example to cling to" shows you don't know the subject you are criticizing. In effect you are saying, for example, that Arp's book, Catalogue of Discordant Redshift Associations has only one example, which is ludicrous. And he has published 2 other books with many more examples. Your habit of incoherent arguments must be making some Mainstreamers cringe.
