I stand corrected on Pons and Fleischmann. Fascinating stuff, thanks very
much for pointing it out. However, the lecturer seems to agree with me that
scientific truth is dependent upon honesty to be perceived: "the evidence
that changes minds is often quite ordinary: what is of relevance is the
psychological factors that may inhibit acceptance of the evidence."

Do we? Let's get back to it then!
Cheers
