Whew. The paper which started this conversation indicates the scientists involved and their academic affiliation. I would like to caution some people, you know who you are, that this particular list, Vortex-l is widely read.
Further caution, I have seen many statements which could be considered libelous. If you wish to speculate, be sure to include the phrase "in my opinion". While it will only provide a modicum of protection if these individuals and their institutions are incensed by these statements, it at least, does allow you to plead ignorance.
