Stuart, have you considered why you have received PM's and emails on this subject when the authors could, just have easily, have contributed their opinions to the debate here?
The contributors to this thread have placed their opinions here for peer review; it would be a bad thing, for transparency's sake, to allow unreviewed 'background noise' to colour the decision. A 'good' debate should be open.
Which organisations and uni's? What question did you ask? It's about context and transparency again.
It seems to me that you have skimmed over some of the very important points that have already been made here, Stuart; if you don't understand the possible implications of some or any of them, please ask.
