Hello All,

I need to clarify the above is a quote from Hawking from page 10 of the book
"A Brief History of Time" and not mine.

 Hawking observed (in my opinion) what I have observed that those which do
not agree with results can always "question the competence of the person who
carried out the observation" and do many times in order to improve their
position in the discussion.

I added only to show the above happens quite a bit and not to point a finger
at those involved in current research.

In Seeley's book he chips away at some parts of Von Frisch's research. In
one chapter he says two common dances may indeed only be one.

Again the data presented by Von Frisch ,Seeley and others is beyond
dispute. It is what it is.

The conclusions are (as always) open to debate.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
