And in any case, how many engineers v scientists.....and what are engineers doing making statements about a subject very few (if any) of them would have a good enough understanding of. It's much like a biologist telling a mechanical engineer that he's wrong about finite element analysis of stressed metals in gears. Next to no engineer works in a scientific field such as astronomy, and especially astrophysics/cosmology etc. They're not trained in that field to begin with. About the only connection they would have is in designing the mechanics for the instruments.....mountings, buildings etc. Or, if they were electrical engineers, they'd help design the instruments themselves. But that's as far as it goes. It's only the likes of Peratt and Scott who think they have some sort of unique insight that allows them to come over all "expert" about other fields they have little experience in.
