The Dugway authors explain:

“The focus of the work presented here was to develop a system to prepare multiple samples in a chamber, which allowed predictable concentrations of aerosolized spores (CLOSELY SIMULATING THE TYPE OF SPORES USED IN THE ACTUAL ATTACK) to settle on at least two types of surfaces and at concentrations that tested the limits of detection of the sampling and analytical methods. The second part of the study, to be reported elsewhere, produced a range of low concentration surface loadings on stainless steel and carpet surfaces, sampled the surfaces using several techniques, and analyzed the samples using multiple laboratories.”

"CLOSELY SIMULATING THE TYPE OF SPORES USED IN THE ACTUAL ATTACK"

Congratulations ZacanPook for finding the key sentence that demonstrates the new CDC/Dugway paper methodology for simulating the type of spores used in the actual attack. I'm waiting for Ed to come back here soon claiming that this plainly written statement doesn't really mean what it says.

Maybe you should have made the statement in Fire-engine red font with EXTRA LARGE font for the word ACTUAL.

Just in case Ed doesn't know what "ACTUAL" means, I've provided a definition below:
