Re: Scientific responsibility

Bill,



Please share with us, how you would introduce the "ecologic nature" into the 

model.



Whether the study is ecological or not is relevant within the framework of 

science, unless the science is fiction. 



Such a model theoretically can be constructed and I have shared this 

information with Dr. Cohen.  He was not interested.
