Thomas most scientific papers pubplished are garbage and can not be 
repeated. You only need to concern yourself with scientific work that is 
reproducible. Visser's has demostrated her procedure which is thus a 
step ahead of most published garbage. Do not forget that the Prometheus 
project will go through many years of 'the publish or perish' before by 
luck they stumble accross something usefull. A few months ago I withdrew 
my services from a major if not famous medical research center because 
the director told me plainly that their N.I.H and private grants 
depended on short term results and that he expected to see those 
results. He is himselve a reviewer. The Prometheus project will end up 
the same if not more so because it can not get funds from the N.I.H or 
the drug companies.
