Are we spending too much time shooting the messenger, while ignoring the message?
There at least two other threads where this horse has not only been beaten, it has been flensed, rendered, and the bones ground up. It's not so much a horse any more as it is glue.

In short, the discussion has been:

1. Allegation
2. Skepticism
3. Allegation
4. Request for confirmation (as in "facts")
5. Allegation
6. Repeated request for facts
7. Allegations jumping to other threads
8. Request (mea culpa) for the mods to investigate this as a trollish invasion

It remains a fact-free discussion, which I find especially troubling in a community dedicated to the rational process of science and engineering. My mind is open, but not so open that it's going to fall out of my head.
