Better question what chance to we have that a typhoon will strike Inchon while they are there and wash all of them out to sea? Nature would do the world a favor if it managed a “natural enema” at Inchon.

If they really, really, really believed what they preach and wanted us to go along, they would open all their research to public inspection and they would engage us in debate. Ain’t NEVER gonna happen.
