Reply #99: You realize...

Randi did her own research and is not a journalist, so is not bound to "behave" in a particular way. If she finds it was wrong, she will say so. It does not discredit her if she turns out to be wrong, because she is not obligated to journalistic standards, and she is honest enough to correct herself if such an event should happen... and she is not saying anything other than what she found, on which she has questions.

As for your concern regarding me, until something is in a news article, it is not news and until it becomes news, I am free to speculate in a responsible way. In fact, I want to speculate because facts don't materialize, sometimes one has to actually look for them.

You do not, however, see anything in print with my name attached discussing this and so my reputation is quite safe in regard to your concerns about this story. That does not answer it one way or another, but that is the way it is.

Is it possible in the future I might make an error? Absolutely. I am human and humans are not perfect. When I do, I will calmly explain my error.

I know your passionate, but this type of hysteria does nothing but feed this insane notion that humans are supposed to be right at all times and that all speculation must be fact... in other words, everyone should simply be quiet.

In any case, Randi is a very intelligent woman and she dug around for some time last night and this morning. I am sure she is comfortable saying what she said and you need to let that be your guide.
