At this point, it seem obvious to me that you would benefit by local
statistical consulting, rather than further badgering on this list, as
you seem confused by both the underlying statistical concepts and how
they need to be handled in R/car. Pursuing your current course seems
destined to lead to folly.

Of course, both you and John (and others) are free to disagree ...

Cheers,
Bert
