The Ettinger Simulation ignores the statement that DMF causes liver damage in quantities as low as 100 parts per million. Thats *toxic*. The Ettinger Simulation further ignores the mutagenic properties of DMF. The Ettinger Simulation appears to be rather concerned about its $25,000 investment in this pig-in-a-poke.
