Yup. Beaudette assigns some of the blame for the fiasco to F&P. I have to
agree, because of this. You might blame it on the lawyers but F&P were the
ones who followed their advice.

Still, people did manage to replicate, so this should not have mattered.

James Bowery's strategy is great idea. It is a shame he wasn't advising U.
Utah or F&P back then. It might have worked then. It might even work now.
It would have been difficult to find an Ivy League scientist to collaborate
with, but if you could find one, that might have jogged history onto a
different path.
