I too haven't made up my mind on Aetherometry, regardless what other users might attest to by my opposition to calling it pseudoscience without reference.  I think your son is in wonderful hands.  I placed a comment on talk page "Danny", it might resinate with you further.  I was blocked for calling WMC the very words your son shouldn't see.  And blocked justly so.  All I can do is apologize to you and your son for allowing myself to reach a wits end.  I do not apologize to WMC, for I feel strongly that he takes people there knowing full well the frustration he unjustly builds within people. 

I also have a comment and vote for deletion to place in your very well written AfD on aetherometry. This wiki is woefully ill-equipped to deal with such material.  I doubt wikipedia can survive many more of these types of encounters before forced to change its ways, or it may sink from respectable existence all together. 

The other notable Karpinski I spoke of, (at least for people here in DC) was the one who came out in opposition to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, after she was demoted for not following the "company line".
