That is nonsense. That is a completely unwarranted assumption. You need to read the papers. That is a bit like saying that if a critical mass of uranium will explode with 20 kt of force, half that mass will explode with 10 kt. It does not work that way. Many phenomena are not linear. These conclusions may be incorrect but to dismiss them as a "fairy tale" is unscientific, and disrespectful to the researchers. That is a lot like the way people who know nothing about cold fusion dismiss cold fusion results. People who know the least are usually the ones who are quickest to dismiss a conclusion. - Jed
