Tuttle Sir; I am very specific about what mistakes I am discussing. I take great pains to define their historical context, their presuppositions, and the ignorance of the laws of physics that lead to them. You insistence, on the other hand, that such an assertion is false, is totally lacking in specifics. I realize that as an associate professor in a department of neuroscience not only do you have something to defend, but your opinion carries some weight. I therefore urge you to read the paper so that you know what I am talking about rather than dismiss the entire thing as out of order. It was Max Planck, the originator of the idea of quantum energy level in the late 1890's, who said that resistance to his ideas from the old guard of physics diminished with each funeral.
