 We are way beyond 1984, so it is understandable why we need to suppress

 valid information in order to maintain our credibility. Nevertheless, it

 bothers me that evidence showing beneficial effects of LDR should not be

 made public information. Suppose that low-dose radiation effects really

were

 good for people. Wouldn't it be awful if that news got out.
