But this is a MONUMENTAL development, so how could they be too old/lazy, not have urgency & priority, have no idea of a public deadline, etc.? Bowlsheet. And WTF are we talking about when it comes to "the nature of research"??? This ain't research. This is reading a voltmeter, an ammeter, and a thermometer. All of us Vorts KNEW there should be isotopic analysis, and only NOW these idiots are thinking about doing it? They simply CANNOT be that incompetent. They are cashing in with their hoarded information. they are willing to dillydally and delay. This is a mystery to me. ***The mystery is solved in this case. These guys are doing the traditional swedish dance of "providing for their families" and they are leveraging on this hoarded information.
