Since Ju is conjuct with Ur every 12 years or so, what makes this one special? In the article he cites various events in the progress of cloning when he square of this or that occurs. Which given that there is a constant flow of events in human cloning, it may be a bit like saying, when Ju is conjunct Ur, there will be much passage of water at this particular spot. but given the spot is a river, and everyday water is flowing and there is much passage of water each day -- this claim seems not to be much substance. And what about 1000 years ago -- did every 12 years reveal a new breakthrough in human cloning? The "River Fallacy" is common in jyotish predictions. One of the well know jyotishis cited here earlier, makes somewhat similar claims that he has "proven scientifically, totally scientifically" and wonders perhaps why scientists are no banging on his door. The claims have different forms, but are akin to in predicting marriage for 100 recent college graduate over the next 8 years that he has a 86% success rate -- and thus its impeccably scientific. Given that a large number of college graduates marry before the age of 30, this claim is about as impressive as saying I shot and arrow and it hit the broadside of the barn -- I am SUCH a good shot. Or that I caught 100 fish when I shot a shotgun into a barrel of fish.
