Yes. I look at physics and engineering for objective, replicated evidence. You make a bet that ignorant, foolish people will not change their minds about something they know nothing about and have no business discussing, never mind judging. These are two completely different things. If this were 1906 you would be safe betting that the Sci. Am. and the New York Times will attack aviation and declare the Wright brothers frauds. The thing is, in 1906 that only proved those were ignorant fools making mistakes. It had no bearing on the reality of aviation. You can probably find a 100,000 pundits and scientists in the U.S. who will denounce cold fusion. One reading from an IR camera proves they are wrong. The best "arguments" they come up with will be the kind of stream-of-consciousness free form blather that Ericsson & Pomp presented. And that you will not address. There is nothing to bet on here. - Jed
