 In metaphysics, theories don't have to be proveable.  But in science, when
 the experimental data (findings??) disagree with the theory, you have either 
a bad
 experiment or a bad theory.  The only needfull communication in this thread
 is either conclusive explaination of what is wrong with the theory, or open
 rejection of LNT.

Gary,

There may be a bit more to it than what you state above.  You need good input 
data and it should be clear exactly what theory your testing.  Not to clutter 
the listserv, please email me directly if you want to discuss this further.
