Except that none of those things, with the exception of nuclear power, gave insight into anything nuclear, and the study of things nuclear is still in its adolescence. Unfortunately, like the adolescent, many of those studying it think that the field to date, especially their own particular area, is the sine qua non of all things nuclear and that there's nothing more that can be known or discovered, thus leading to such statements of adolescent bluster as "If this is true then we have to throw out everything we've learned up till this point."

When the truth is revealed, it will be:

Skeptics = 1
FRingies = 0

When the truth is revealed, it will be:

Skeptics = 1
FRingies = 0

The funny thing is that I'm hopeful based on what the research has shown over the past 20+ years, but not dogmatically certain about this particular instance; whereas you appear to be dogmatically certain about the entire field in a way that has to ignore the past 20+ years of results. Which of us will be more likely to perceive the truth when it comes? As the saying goes, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I have no doubt you’re in the same category.
