If I recall correctly someone wrote on the vortex list back in feburary or march
that Galantini never wrote a report, so that fact is not news. Steven
Kirvit managed to catch Levi uttering a 'white lie' to *him*. Is that fact
news?
Interesting.
I can't be sure from Krivit's rather murky summary of events whether
Levi was actually lying about it, or was confused, mistaken, or had been
misled by Rossi, but whatever the underlying situation is, Levi comes
across looking very bad here, IMHO.
Coupled with the admission that the steam was wet (which has seemed
pretty obvious to me for quite a while, though, as I've said before, I'm
no expert) this makes Galantini's assertions about steam look pretty
unreliable. And if he was as definite about the dryness of the steam as
we've been led to believe, it casts some doubt on any future assertions
he may make about anything else ... unless, of course, he cares to
include the data and reasoning which led to the assertions. (Appeal to
authority proves nothing without data, as has already been pointed out
ad nauseum. And when the authority has already been shown to be
unreliable...)
Actually, I'd have to say the whole UoB team is looking pretty poor at
this point.
