Greetings All,  Let's imagine there is some highly placed official who is a
truth seeker and sufficiently open-minded to be convinced about CS.  How
small and organized a study would there be that would justify others to be
similarly open-minded to a more convincing study?

We need to take courage and be visionary that the skepticism can be
overcome.  There are those out there who realize that the stakes are high.
Whatever thoughts any here may have would be appreciated. We as a people
can still lead.
