Dear 'Alfred in Wonderland',

You hit the nail right on the head!  This is precisely the point that a
lot of people try to avoid with an excessive amount of smart verbiage.
They do not have enough hard science, not enough to know how to
evaluate this -- maybe it is and maybe it ain't -- kind of risk, but they
sure know enough on how to throw away billions of taxpayer dollars.
So they go with what they know and throw!  UGLY!!!

Best regards,

Fritz
