The ps. in Risenhoover's PS may be a lead to the type of info being sought. I do not discredit people who genuinely look for science to support or discourage their ideas. The other point comes from the Thiek message which says the other side is well settled in the political body. If you think they aren't always ready to bounce right back from any short-term set back, guess again. If so I would share your concerns.
Any information is appreciated.
