- My view is that Mills' claimed results are so fantastic that experimental
- error is unlikely, and therefore Mills is either telling the truth, or is
- running a scam. I'm just killing time here until the situation resolves
- itself.

- I should really formulate my statements into the form of a question. i.e.
- when someone says, "it must be X" or "it can't be X", then all I am asking is
- did they consider this variable or that variable also? I am intellectually
- ill equipped to be anything more than a question poser.

- I think an example of "context dependent" would be the mass difference between
- a hydrogen atom with an electron with a forward spin versus one with an
- electron with a retrograde spin. These differences change the "step"
- energies very slightly of the photons emitted in transversing the various
- "n" states, yet Planck's constant remains rock solid. We end up with pairs
- of closely spaced emission (or absorption) lines in our spectrums.

- Wouldn't the strong (or is it the weak) nuclear force insist?
