- I did not realize that anyone was taking that rot seriously
- (as if much of this is serious). After all, the postulate of
- invisible high energy gammas is just another way certain
- proponents wish to avoid finding a nuclear signature. Unfortunately,
- I don't exactly think this avoids anything since you now have
- to explain why you never see the high energy gammas, and it makes the
- momentum balance more difficult.
-
- However, my New Method (TM) avoids the necessity of experimenters
- being lightly toasted by simply postulating two miracles by analogy
- (or one if you are not fond of the whole subject) where many were
- required before.
-
- I'd have to say that this is an important advance.

- Plenty of heat has been generated, especially in the debate...
