Here are some comments from Russ George
"Interesting BBC transcript, I have been involved for a few days
informing the BBC of how Putterman is Taleyarkhan's most ardent
competitor . . . It seems Putterman excluded measurement of neutrons at
any time save the instant of the flash. He imposed the perfect neutron
flash coincidence on the test. This is of course bullshit as there is no
reason to insist that the flash is timed with maximum density in the
bubble, indeed some reports have the flash away from this point in
time."
My response to Russ:
Wow! I never thought of that. Very interesting -- and
plausible. That explains a lot.
