Sorry you got that impression, that is between you and yourself as it were. I don't have anything to justify, as once again, my one and only agenda is as you say pursuing the truth without favor or prejudice.

It does not matter to me in which direction the paper is politically slanted one iota, or what conclusions it so desperately seeks. The ends don't justify the means, sorry.

It matters very much to me that it isn't anything like science, and worse, that it masquerades. You can dance around this all you want.
