Hi Rip
You're joking, right? If we eliminated all non-factual material, the list
would get pretty boring. A lot of people I know really liked Dennis,
including me. I thought the excerpt added a little color to the story, which
is mostly about what we don't know about CCD. 

I was especially irked that the researcher is suppressing his findings
(regardless of his possibly justified motives). If he has really nailed a
causative agent, then people may be wasting a lot of time and money chasing
down other blind alleys.
