I think you are wrong. Lawrence was not accusing Naudin of falsifying data. He is only saying that Naudin substituted one graph for another for reasons that are unclear. I will grant that "playing games" sounds suspicious. He could have described it better. It reminds me of the "climategate" scandal where someone referred to a legitimate processing technique as a "trick." That's programmer jargon; don't read too much into it. Melich pointed out that it tends to be antisocial or even autistic, with expressions such as "abort the process." More to the point, you should never trust one observation or dataset from one experimentalist. Nothing is true until it is replicated. Although I guess Naudin is a partial replication of the Steorn claim. By the way, Lawrence should ask Naudin what he is up to. He is a very friendly fellow. - Jed No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2681 - Release Date: 02/10/10 23:35:00
