Read, registered, and website comment posted. It's hard to write a sane unbiased comment (which won't be instantly ignored as coming from rabid crackpot CF believers.) "Excellent article! "There's one part I'd argue with though. This sentence is an oft-repeated myth: "Their findings were quickly dismissed, however, when scientists couldn't replicate the experiment." The reasons that CF was dismissed are not so simple. In fact, various researchers did find positive evidence at the time. But they were ignored for various reasons, mostly regarding academic politics, and mostly caused by conflicts of interest. Simple irrational disbelief ruled the day. One could write entire books about the dishonest behavior of scientists on both sides of the CF controversy (and several people have!)"
