Mike has his belief-system. It is on shakey ground at this point.

It is? Why?

If he wishes to believe that the fundamental eye is
not dynamic (science)

Presuming anybody knows what you're talking about -- for argument's
sake -- nobody around here EVER says that an eye is not dynamic.

So you're just lying.

and tells you that the a strong
minus lens has NO EFFECT on the refractive STATE of
all eyes -- then go ahead and enter his belief-system.

It's a belief system based on numerous clinical trials.

What's yours based on?

But it is always wise to review the fact that the minus lens
is considered a "risk factor" for inducing an even more
negative refractive STATE in the normal eye.

Considered? Where's the evidence.

People seem to experience runaway hair growth after their first
haircut. Some people see their feet getting larger after wearing
their first pair of shoes.

Where's your evidence of causality??
