Aw shucks.

In any case, Mills is pretty late in coming to market. He seems
to be joining a long line of failures. Something better is
needed, or at least more publicly available.
On that point we agree, except that Mills may be closer to partial
success than failure. 'Huge success' is still within reach.
I hope so. *Somebody* needs to succeed because we need the energy.
His own reticence in sharing all experimental results (he freely
shares the good, but leaves out data which HAS TO BE THERE) is his
worst enemy.
That and not providing people like EarthTech with full and complete
cooperation and means of verification. His so-called "independent"
replications are laughing stock ... yet there has to be something
there which is very exciting - unless of course, he is a
pathological liar of the "wag-the-dog" variety.
A full replication by a quality lab -- and Mills is on his way to
Stockholm, Heisenberg notwithstanding, no?
Probably deservedly so. Isn't the committee fairly strict about
credentials though? Mills is an MD working outside his field isn't he?
