Gerald, All,
As I said, typically I would hold them responsible, but when their
credibility has been called into question - I mean, you're saying that
the people whom Greg has openly stated are lying should provide the
proof.
How good would that be?

Unfortunately Greg is not his peer. This is why I state that the scientific study need to be peer reviewed. Fellow meteoriticists are the ones qualified to determine if Dr. Jambon is a competent scientist and the lab he used adequate to make the determination of the pairing. Not Greg.

This then needs to be peer reviewed to assure that the scientist is competent and the laboratory adequate to make the determination. This level of proof is beyond almost all dealers.
