- Jed, pardon me if I sort of butt in here for a minute.

- I think that problem is coming down to a perfectly simple
- idea: either there is excess heat being measured or there
- isn't.
-
- If there is excess heat, then we are all interested in the
- mechanism from which it occurs.
-
- If there isn't any excess heat, but there _appears_ to be
- excess heat, then we must also find an explaination for that.
-
- In either case, the necessary questions will always have some
- personal portent of someone's failure. I don't think that is
- important to the subject and should be ignored since science
- is the act of correcting mistaken ideas.
