To be a little more specific, they said it was inconclusive. Most
experiments are inconclusive.

I put that too strongly. I should not say "break laws." Of course they
didn't. Mary Yugo said they have "a lot of explaining to do" because they
made claims of 30 machines and tests by the Greek government and blah,
blah. Okay, I'll say, "a lot of explaining to do. A lot to answer for."
Even that is silly because a private corporation has no obligation to
explain things. They do not owe Mary Yugo or me any information about
anything. Period.

However, if they want credibility and good public relations they should
watch what they say. They should try to follow through more often. Don't
cry "wolf!" Don't casually throw out the claim that you tested nickel
isotopes. You have to explain how and why, because many of us know that
monoisotopic samples cost fantastic sums of money and Defkalion appears to
be broke, so that is kind of suspicious. Instead of throwing this out, as
if anyone can buy isotopes at Wall Mart, they should publish a brief report
that starts off:

"In cooperation with XYZ lab we tested monoisotopic samples (Isoflex Inc.)
ranging from 1 to 8 g. . . ."

I tend to dismiss their claims about their business because of their track
record of blathering and not following through.
