*955BRIGHT, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result but write separately to emphasize that, in my opinion, the decision to exclude the expert testimony in this case was a close call, but was not an abuse of the discretion afforded to the district court under the Daubert rule. See Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharm., Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 589, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 125 L.Ed.2d 469 (1993) (charging district court judges with the responsibility of acting as gatekeepers to “ensure that any and all scientific testimony or evidence admitted is not only relevant, but reliable”).
