<div dir="ltr">I must say that your reply has left me completely flabbergasted and in dismay Ilja.

One thing that became clear to me with a survey and study of these various and many experimenters is that there are tests that can be performed by people with smaller or even shoestring budgets to validate or invalidate the null or non-null results (depending on which side of the fence you are on) and ultimately come to the truth without relying on anyone else from any camp. I believe in being as being as free from bias and unshackled by preconceptions as possible (although I realize that as a human and with cultures the way they are it's never possible to completely succeed in this) and I have devised some of my own experiments based around this information and data that I think can provide further insight into the situation. </div><div><br></div><div>A sever problem always arises when we place our trust, somewhat blindly, into so-called research that appears now to have had scientifically impure motivations.

No, simply because I have made this bet from the start: I will accept<br>
experimental and observational evidence as presented and accepted by<br>
the mainstream.<br>
<br>
Of course, with some probability this will be the wrong bet. Such is<br>
life. Anyway, as an outsider I have no chance to win in that playing<br>
field.<br>
<br>
And if these evil mainstream scientists conspire to suppress the<br>
results of true experiments, my chances are even lower, close to<br>
complete zero.<br>
