I don't want to claim that McKubre's endorsement is a ringing one, or even that he has spoken more than polite words. I claim only that his going out of his way to go to Tesla and appear on stage and say those things was an endorsement. I believe we agree on this point. I certainly would not recommend any significant investments be made in this technology; I would even hesitate to purchase the demonstration kit. I understand that you are not accusing McKubre of anything more than possibly having a financial conflict of interest. Can you provide further information in this regard that will be material to a consideration of his endorsement? There is no doubt that many details connected to Papp and the recent replicators are sketchy. We have seen a similar set of considerations arise in connection with some of the attempts at LENR commercialization. We are also now seeing possible evidence that, those concerns aside, there could actually be something to the claims made in connection with those attempts. What I am saying, and please indicate if you disagree, is that the book does not appear to be closed on Papp and the replicators, and that more work will be needed if they are to be considered to have been debunked. In the absence of such a final conclusion, I see the possibility of an interesting phenomenon to be investigated. Eric
