His satirical sense of humor can be entertaining. The videos are educational. At least, I learned a few things I didn't know before, particularly in regards to the Podkletnov controversy. With that said I don't understand your attitude - what strikes me as apparent apathy in not wanting to put much effort into correcting (or at least letting your audience know) the fact that you know there exist a few errors in the You Tube videos. It's not that big of a deal. Nor would it be that difficult to "fix". The "fix" also doesn't have to involve Lane. For example at your website list all the You Tube links in the correct order that the videos should be watched in. Then, next to any specific link where "errors" have been detected, you can then add a brief personal Errata statement, a personal comment or two. Don't you think it's important to let your viewers, your audience, know that you are aware of the fact that a few minor discrepancies and/or contradictions might exist. Keep in mind that many of your viewers are technically competent viewers. They expect to view technically accurate information. By placing a brief errata out at your web site you at last let everyone know, your viewers know that you are aware of these errors, but that despite these errors you believe the information as revealed, and when taken in its entirety, is still valid. If you say nothing, how do you expect your viewers to assess the quality of these You Tub videos, especially when you apparently don't seem to care what they are viewing. Said differently, you are passively handing "power" over to someone else who now has the "power" to change public opinion in regards to your standing - particularly whether your theory should be worthy of being seriously considered. Not a wise decision, IMHO. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
