Hi All,

Yes well I'd agree the blog entry is a conspicuously vitriolic attack on the site and the paper -- unusual but not unknown. One or few people here from time to time have been just as scathing on Electric Universe and Nibiru.

Maybe the blog writer has an agenda, maybe he is correct and making a forceful point. All by itself, that attack is not capable of rendering the original conclusion completely nugatory, but for me it does raise a very substantial quesion mark.

Certainly enough that it'd be irresponsible to treat any of its conclusions as fact unless further inquiry reveals more evidence to verify the claim. In the absence of any further independent confirming evidence over the next few months, I'd reckon it could be safely filed under "under-supported sensationalism".

We'll see ...


Best,

L.
