Moin, Dr. Feinhals,

this is true, but IMHO it's not the main aspect of this problem. One of
our common customers is quite interested, that we are very prudent in
valuing the results of other experts and "experts" as long as we aren't
asked for it, so that we are not known to be on one side or the other,
which would damage our credibility in the public and the acceptence of
our results. I do respect this wish and often must byte my tongue in
order not to comment things that would need to be commented. Of course I
see this obstructs communication in the group, but it's the consequence
of the political polarisation in a field where science alone should
count.
