We'll see about that. Ed Storms predicts it will change > many minds. I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. As I said, scientists > are not supposed to be swayed by the mass media, but they are. Park, of all > people, should know that. He has been using the mass media to bash cold > fusion all these years. > > Seriously, he just can't bring himself to admit he has been wrong, can he? I wonder who the "three well-known scientists" are whom CBS interviewed but apparently declined to include within the 60 Minutes installment. I'm left to speculate that they contacted Park and informed him that their views wouldn't be included - and also perhaps to cry on his shoulder. How else would he know. Park doesn't seem to know anything else about who will be represented. It sounds so much more definitive to say "I don't know who will." - which deflects from the implication that apparently Park simply chose not to investigate. Meanwhile, in a previous post Mr. Krivit stated: > At a minimum, "on camera": > > McKubre > Fleischmann > Violante > Richard Garwin > Rob Duncan It would appear that those who make it their business to investigate these matters, have some idea.
