Cc: David Crowe Dear colleague Randall Scalise, You may be surprised to hear from me that we have one thing in common: We both defend classical scientific standards against pseudo-scientists. In view of this may I make a suggestion to you? I would recommend to be a little more tolerant and forgiving or even courteous to current scientific minorities. After all, all scientific innovation came from minorities, eg. Galileo, Planck, Einstein, who used to say 'The important thing is not to stop questioning'. So as a professor myself, I encourage my students to "dissent", but ask them to be prepared for "questions". A penny for your thoughts or questions, Peter Duesberg
