Twiford's dissertation was interesting.
In reading that article, and in consideration of the business of what has been called newtech here, viz. ground-breaking technology in PGM extraction by the DD firms, I am reminded of a course I took in college, long, long ago, titled something like "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
One of the key ideas is that, whenever there was a major paradigm shift in scientific thinking, the full weight of the current view and the current thinking was usually brought to bear on the revolutionary thinking and the revolutionary thinkers as well (you know: crackpots like Galileo), until cracks would appear in the armor of entrenched science, and finally science would enter an adoptive phase, accept the new ideas, and move on.
I hope that is happening here, these days, for the patient GPGI holders. But the stock is a sorry sight right now...
