You only need to concern yourself with scientific work that is reproducible. Visser's has demostrated her procedure which is thus a step ahead of most published garbage. Do not forget that the Prometheus project will go through many years of 'the publish or perish' before by luck they stumble accross something usefull. A few months ago I withdrew my services from a major if not famous medical research center because the director told me plainly that their N.I.H and private grants depended on short term results and that he expected to see those results. He is himselve a reviewer. The Prometheus project will end up the same if not more so because it can not get funds from the N.I.H or the drug companies. J.C.
