It's like trying to discuss dinosaurs with a creationist!

Well there is only one explanation for all this but I'm not saying. 'Tis a bit like arguing with a bloke who calls himself 'chef de cuisine' on a cooking forum, and he's never heard of a pressure cooker, and denies their existence.

No, Turnoi. Nobody is suggesting you use numbers instead of diacritica... People are suggesting numbers can be used in place of diacritica. Both are OK and both are understood. If you are writing in pinyin and you don't have a function on your computer to use tonal indicators, then you can use numbers and everyone knows what you mean. Seriously, a ten year old could fathom the difference.
And no, none of the links you supplied use numbers, colour me shocked, but other posters have provided links to translators that use numbers, you appear to be suffering from selective blindness again.
You are the only person trying to make something more of this than there needs be, and that's only because you're trying to save face at having got it so glaring wrong from the get go with regards to who said it in the first place and that you couldn't use numbers.
You are wrong, Turnoi. Admit it and let's move on, eh?!
