You know, you keep throwing around "top researchers around the world" a lot. I can't help but be very skeptical about this.

I'd ask who they are, but I doubt very much you'd say publicly. You probably wouldn't even tell me privately. I guess this based on your 'style'.

This is the 'secret ingredient' problem of the snake oil salesman. You are making grand statements of 'opinion' and making certain claims, yet make little to no effort to back any of it up. You have to admit, if you look at it from our point of view, that it is all very suspicious sounding.

I'll be blunt, how do we know you're not just spinning a line of bull?

Perhaps it doesn't matter to you what *I* think, or anyone else on this board. But, the very reason I and others think this way about your forecasts are going to make most people think the same exact way. How do you expect to get anyone to accept your research seriously?

If you want to play the game, and want to take credit for a royal flush, you have to show your cards. (the only problem with that analogy is you can't bluff in science - the other guy never folds)
