Ladies and Gentlemen-
The forum for discussions such as this is the "established" scientific literature- the refereed literature. While we are all experiencing the joy of the Internet, it is certainly not yet the place for "honest" science to be debated. Most of the discussions such as the one I am jumping in on appear to be initiated for some hidden agenda rather than to further real debate or discussion. Often the originator of the item becomes very defensive whenever anyone expresses opposed viewpoints (see so-called Arnold's Law discussions infecting various groups).

In any event, rational discussion requires, or rather is facilitated by, lucid communication. I have yet to see this in discussions of the sort referred to here.

With all due respect,
MH
