Rudi,

Perhaps you did misinterpret my comment. I was simply making 
the point that whenever there is data that doesn't support the LNT, 
or the fact that exposure to radiation doesn't result in a negative 
response, the first action is to resort to the "health worker 
syndrome" is the reason, and NOT that it is also plausible that 
perhaps there is not the expected negative effects as the 
investigator has chosen to be the null hypothesis.

I hope that clarifies what I was thinking.
