You would not know a microbiologist from a turkey, so cut the nonsense. We know very well that in desperation all liars resort to personal anecdotes that are impossible to verify.
I live right down the road from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and have quite a few friends from there and at a large bioinformatics corporation that makes the technology to study the genome, proteins, etc. (I turned down a job there actually, I was to be doing client/server protein modelling).
