Thanks for this very interesting report Steven.
Summary (correct me if I misunderstood) :
- Dardik's SuperWaves are a scam, their application to CF is entirely
PR stuff based on concepts stolen from the Widom Larsen theory for CF.
- McKubre and Fleishmann support Dardik and SuperWaves because

I am not being flippant. It is understandable that a person ranks his

And, yes, he reached the point where he doesn't want to hear anything new

Jed, and others, thanks for your responses.
I wasn't clear. My apologies. This person does not rank his own early
research as being either superior or definitive or adequate. Indeed, he
agreed that his effort had been tentative and sandwiched in among other
research, that it may well have been

No. As I shall show below, when the subject of

This is probably not a serious comment . . . But in any case, an
inability to write fiction is no indication that you are good at
writing non-fiction. On the

you meet with Professor Peter Hegelstein and discussed his work with “low

For made-up nonsense that is irrelevant and unimportant, you seem to
