Thanks Bill. Not being an expert in these areas, my main point is that one should at least, as intelligently as possible, question things that may become enshrined as truth but, are, in fact, not based on fact. In journalism it is bad journalism, and when it occurs here it becomes a case of half truths and ideas becoming creed just because "that's the way it is." I fully understand that there are vagaries in assay testing procedures. One could even say that is a given. Fine. But, the notion of vagaries implies that within this so called unscientific realm there exists many levels of accuracy. I am trying to ask this question: Why should we all passively read and accept 49r's version of how vagaries are manifested? The answer is, to me, that no one should, particularly because she has no direct experience with this lab. Reading other peoples experiences and musings in press releases just does'nt do it for me. So I have to ask her. Any proper scientific study would consider her contribution as suggestive at best. Are we to believe that all procedures conducted in labs around the world are done in the manner that she claims? Based on only her word? It's not that I don't believe her. I do believe what she claims can happen actually happens. That is a moot point. But what I don't accept at all is that all labs are precisely as she claims they are. There are hundreds of thousands of books in libraries around the world. 49r's name dropping (oh, hello Zeev) and constant references to publishers and newspaper people who consider her opinion means nothing at all to me, except perhaps to confirm how easy it has become to promote personal ideas as something that the average person is expected to find (and strangely does find) interesting. There are levels of misinformation, her's is merely one that is a little above the fray. R. Winer
