I agree. In scientist speak, this is a recognition that there is, in fact, something, rather than nothing. The slogging ahead will be difficult, but, properly quoted, this NEW report does provide the needed respectability to get some at least to begin taking CF work seriously. We're about halfway along to Clarke's third position on the way to acceptance of a new idea. "I knew it all along." Terry is right--there will not be an admission of wrong doing. They will cite the original luke-warm "there might be something there" conclusion of the original ERAB report as evidence of their innate fairness from the outset, and conveniently forget absolutely all the shit they poured on everyone trying to do serious work since 1989. And so it goes. Jed is right in that this is nothing to start doing jumping jacks over--not if you were hoping for coffers of $$$ to open up--but it is a step or two in the right direction, rather than a step backward.
