By contrast, the ECM is entirely falsifiable, both “in principle” and in reality, by observation. [...] We have another six years to wait but I am confident that the ECM will either be confirmed or be falsified by the images and measurements Rosetta will acquire. The model is 100% falsifiable.

Please provide references to papers, published in relevant peer-reviewed journals, where details of this "ECM" may be found.

Alternatively, please present "[t]he model" in quantitative form, here in BAUT's ATM section. Please pay particular attention to presenting it in a form other than the conventions/tradition of "vulgarizetion of complex scientific theory".
