Blake-

Following the vein of scientific method (objective experimentation, identifying measurable variables, etc). I'm really curious if you could share one (or more) of your own hypotheses that would counter the one Jim (among others) has outlined? Discussing THAT would actually lead to meaningful discussion, I think.

Standing back and simply saying 'we need more experiments' makes it difficult for people who view Jim (among others) findings as pretty conclusive. We need to see the other options, other potential causes, etc.
