Bull.
The ‘scientific community’ could have simply said nothing and not touched this with a 10-foot pole until it was shown to be a success. This is the problem with the ‘scientific community’ is there’s too much communal thinking, which leads to too many kneejerk, emotional reactions.
If you don’t think something’s on the up and up, the best thing is to not give it press. They jumped in and gave him press, and thereby escalated this situation. Most business people are skeptical till they see something that works, and that’s why you don’t see this thing being pushed in the WSJ, Forbes, or even the mainstream tech rags.
We’re all just sitting back and waiting till October.
The scientific community gives him press? I call bull back at you. He continues to try to gin up press. No one really gives him much.
