so someone's credibility is based upon a list of publications rather
than what they have to say? Hardly egalitarian, nor scientific. Surely
this is a forum for new ideas and discussion, not the thought police.
There may be individuals out there with as much to say which is valid as
yourself, but venturing out on scientific career. Should they be
discouraged from airing their views, so that everyone is the poorer? It
is clear that Valev is an attention seaker, but there may be others with
genuine points- should their input be tainted because they are not part
of the esablishment?

please - 'suffer the children', for 'out of the mouths of babes spring
forth truths'
