I was wondering when somebody was going to step forward and say that "The king ain't wearin no clothes"! I was just sitting back to see how long it would take....

The hyprocrisy of busting the chops of us "Pseudoscientist" (one geophysicists definition) and then sitting by quietly as one of their own kind (a geophysicist) gathers notice for something that's a sure thing.

{Hope I didn't miss anyhting here...maybe I'll go back and read the paper....}

OTOH, the attempt to make predictions is applauded even though it might fall short. The authors are sure to get a few rations for trying....

Just my $.02 worth
