Doug:
I was wondering WHO wrote that quote? I believe it is completely silly
NOT to think speculation belongs in science. That is how ideas get
started. Complete SPECULATION by Einstein led to further study, and
finally the theory of relativity, which is still speculation in its own
right. Anyway, I commend Frank for making his observations, not only for
Mt. Tazerzait, but for all the other meteorites he has informed us of.
Cheers,
