1) 240 not being an expert doesnt mean 240 is wrong
2) those scientists have their funding and reputations to lose ... thas a big motivator to keep your mouth shut
RE: #1, no certainly not. But i was refering to people with a background in realted fields. 240 doesn't have that so his theories are specualtion based on lack of expertese in the realted fields therefore it's not credibile.
RE: #2, Yes and no. I would think if it's as plain as day that certain things reported are just impossible liek the temperature of steel melting that more scientists would speak up. They wouldn't have to say its a scam, all they'd have to say its the finding is wrong or based on impossible physics. Doing that wouldn't jeprodize their reps. What would jepordize their reps would be to say it was what the CT'ers are saying.
