No, seriously, this is fun. I don't mind reading, even looking up a few things. I have a Bachelor of Science c.l. and an AS m.c.l. in another discipline, so I am not a *complete* doofus :-)
No one suggested that you were a doofus. Go read his paper then, but be prepared to spend a couple of days figuring it out. It would take me at least a day to digest it and I have a Ph.D., although not in Botany or Crop Science.
Mr. Scum:
You have been difficult, but not nasty, implying that us science types neither read, comprehend nor write. I have tried to hold your hand and show you what this post was about and I hope to have been at least a little successful. None of us is trying to make you believe something that you won't accept, but we do want you to understand the facts on our side. Your gray matter will do the rest, if you let it.
BTW, I am a microbiologist, I like Scum, especially Pond Scum.
What the hell is an AS? Did you leave off the last S?
