“Please, refrain from making comparisons to Global Warming. This is good science, open minded honest evaluation.”
Perhaps there is no legitimate comparison, however, it does illustrate how science and scientists have become increasingly willing to go off half cocked with some major “discovery” absent appropriate skepticism and diligent adherence to the scientific method which requires repeatability of result.
I think the release was tempered with the appropriate amount of caution. I really didn’t think it was over hyped.
And it’s good that they followed the facts, instead of trying hide the observations that failed to match their theory. Initially and later.
