- Aha! This is a pressure tactic!
-
- If I've parrotted the claim, as we've agreed that I have, then it's not
- my claim to defend. I said that the skeptics claim that you would have
- to have neutrons or some other obvious fusion products and you agree
- that they do claim that. Fine.
-
- Actually, even if I did claim myself what I merely am stating that
- other people claim (I'll admit that I do believe it), why should I give
- you any more of an explanation than you've already received? If I
- don't, you might *choose not to believe me*. What a horror that would
- be. It might even drive me back to my real work.
-
- Please don't wait on me any more. Thanks.
