Well, what, if not science, should we feel confident in? Emotionalism? The scientific process, by its very nature, ensures that scientific and technical issues are debated, scrutinized, and resolved in an open forum, and that IS the process that WIPP has been subjected to!
The WIPP analyses have withstood the OPEN strutiny of peer review. The psuedoscience of many a WIPP oppenent has not withstood such strutiny. And with regard to "real scientist", the National Academy of Sciences has endorsed WIPP. I'll accept them as representative of "real scientists" any day of the week.Tim Wheeler
