Exactly, Steven. One of the persons I respect the most on this forum is Horace... He just sticks to the math and data and chooses not to cast dispersions and speculate about people's motives. That's all I'm trying to achieve here is to let the data speak for itself, let the situation transpire as scheduled, and resist the urge to speculate and make derogatory comments about one's motives or integrity until you have enough factual evidence to warrant it. If you can't at least do that, then don't be surprised and cry 'unfair' when you find yourself the target of similar behavior... (Just to be clear Steven, all my comments above are meant for all, not to you specifically.)
Personally, I rank the likely outcomes as follows with #1 the most likely: 1) Steorn is sincere, but will be fooled by mother nature; no, not about it being butter or margarine! :-) 4) Steorn's claims prove out to be something truly novel 6) Steorn is consciously being deceptive And no, I didn't forget 2), 3) and 5)... I just think that the difference in likelihood is much greater than a single increment or two! ;-) Off to work...

I see no reason to change my assumption that they have been sincere in their efforts, even though many have disagreed with the step-by-step approach they have taken. The burning question we all want to know is whether Steorn's ultimate OU claims will turn out to be accurate or not. I don't know how others are handling the suspense, but all I can do is sit back and patiently wait for the next shoe to drop. I don't care if I sound wishy-washy on this point but I am in sympathy with Mark's sentiments, especially with the last sentence. As much as I have on occasion expressed my doubts about Steorn's claims I continue to wish the controversial Irish company good luck, or perhaps I should say: Good Honest Fortunes. (Their good honest fortune, would ultimately translate to my good fortune.) The last thing I want to be feel responsible for having caused, when one looks back through the history books, is having been identified as one of the individuals known to have hindered progress in the smarmy controversial field of outlandish OU claims.
