I'm not sure the reports rise to the level of "erratic."

[LIConFem]

Yes, I wondered (after the fact) if that's what you meant.

Personally, I find it difficult to believe that anyone at ORNL would go public with such a discovery. But what do I know...

I'm not sure the reports rise to the level of "erratic."

You challenge my adjective, yet you ignore the use of "quagmire" as a verb.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Any noun may be verbed.

Any noun may be verbed.

But gravity doesn't quantize.

I'm not sure the reports rise to the level of "erratic."

There were a number of confirming studies. Zero is a number.

Doctor Stochastic:

Chinese intelligence teams run major operations against our national laboratories on a continuous basis. They are high priority targets.

I wonder if Dr. Hu has traveled to mainland China in the last three years?

Has he had any contact with scientist from mainland China in the last year?

Even without any concrete information, I am willing to bet that he has traveled to mainland China within the last three years and/or has been contacted by elements of Chinese intelligence.

I don't trust foreign-born scientist and find it unexcuseable that they are given access to our national lab locations.

Sorry if that sounds prejudicial.

The middle east oil moguls won't like this at all...
Ugh... sorry forgot they were a bunch of quasi-literate parasites..
They would be the LAST to know..
