I answered you "I don't consume alcohol or any other intoxicants." 

Now answer my questions to you.
"Davel - do you accept a dog's sense of smell is better than that of a human?

If it is, what factor would you say it was?"

Why do you expect me to answer your question when you refuse to answer mine

What question have I refused to answer?

Was it "so do you now confirm sil is wrong?"  You hadn't put a question mark on it.    Now SIL may have also made a typo like you did.  IMO he was wrong originally but was it just a typo?

No it wasn't a typo...sil goes into detail on his blog on the subject.and maintains that dogs do not have a better scent ability than humans...and had said the same here. Just wanted to confirm your opinion that sil  is wrong

Now in your own words what do you think?

"Davel - do you accept a dog's sense of smell is better than that of a human?

Factor - how many times stronger is it?

Grime himself does not give a factor but this is what he has written:

"Canine olfaction is far more sensitive and discriminatory than that of humans"  Page #46/187  http://eprints.staffs.ac.uk/4750/1/Forensic%20Canine%20Foundation%20.pdf

I'm sure that has come as an absolute shock to all...who would have thought it

Do you agree with Grime on this issue?

How many times better is canine olfaction compared to human olfaction?

You will have to ask the dogs.

I heard Eddie bark 15 times.  Is that the right answer?

Of course I don't.  Only the dog sniffing something would know how strong the scent was to him, or her.

I think I'm talking more a dilution.  if Human can smell a scent at a certain strength if it was then diluted 1000 times can a dog pick it up?  I think Grime would say some dogs can.

Experiment:
take a decomposed piglet.  Take 1.0 gram of flesh and blend it into 1 litre of water test whether a human can smell it.  either add more flesh 1 gram per time until it is sensed or dilute it until it can not be smelt any more. 
Take 1 ml of the mixture and add it to 1 litre of water, and see if a cadaver dog alerts.

To know what the dog is thinking would be extremely difficult to determine.
