To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I need to get the address of it from J-Dawg and make a pilgrimage to it the next time I'm in Santa Barbara.  :)

Is the article saying there were only three tests in the last five years and all of them were failures?

it says 3 failure in last 5 years.
Doesn't say what the total number of tests were.
Good catch.

I think Yi was kind of mocking garbon for this:

Different note, why are we building more if the tests are failing? :unsure:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

No Meri.  I was raising the possibility of spin. Or lunkheaded reporting.

garbon

Besides, how could he mock me for asking that question?

That question was totally retarded.

Nyah nyah nyah

Because it can sound like you're saying that all tests failed. You're not, but I thought that Yi thought you were saying that. Turns out, he was mocking the paper for it, instead.

My point was that I was asking a question and not making it a statement of fact. Would be odd then to mock me for that - when I was seeking out more info.
