[ RadSafe ] query

[John Jacobus]

Could it be that they are epidemiologists who have
looked at the data rather than just expressing their
opinions or beliefs?  Have you e-mailed or contacted
any of the members to ask them this question?

If you are presented with data to analysis, such as
the data reviewed by the BEIR committee, you might
come to the same conclusion they did.  

A computer poll is just that: a computer poll.  No
science involved.
