Not true. Rather, what happened is that there have been thousands of overly pessimistic estimates, and one overly optimistic estimate for US oil production (an over reaction to past low side errors) , and everyone who makes implausibly pessimistic estimates for world oil production likes to associate themselves with those who disagreed with the one overly optimistic estimate -- but the association is thin. --digsig James A.
