RE: "mind set"

["Bradshaw, Keith" <Keith.Bradshaw@nnc.co.uk>]

	I'm actually agreeing with Jim on this.  The late Isaac Asimov wrote
an article on this.  When you  look at the history of science it's
unfortunately the case that the old generation has to die off before a
fundamental shift of mindset occurs within a scientific discipline.  That
does not mean I'm agreeing on the LNT/hormesis issue.  I'm sitting on the
fence on that still.
