John,   You're wrong again.



Like you, Franz "mocked" the real issue:, saying "deadly effects of LLR  vs.

hormesis...  pushed into background... more important and long-ranging

questions to be solved on this earth, than to quarrel about peanuts"



Roger Clarke, Meinhold, etc., etc., have told me effectively the same!?  Of

course it's OK, on the "receiving side" of this scam.  (At the BRPS Conf,

one national rad prot authority head hissed under her breath at me after I

had made a (reasonable) comment on the existing data from the floor: "We

know what you're up to; you want to kill the golden goose."



But, this gets you good paying positions, and nice travel to nice places!

(And this is from leading research/policy persons writing in the rad prot

literature!)
