These are nerds with pocket protectors talking out of the side of their arse in all their pompous don't have a clue detached glory.
The situation still continues to go from bad to worse, and I would be looking to people on the ground in Japan for information not the Dungeon and Dragons crowd.
We all know the situation is fluid, but to say that they do not know what they are talking about us a different thing. With someone of your stature here, being well respected, for you to resort to ad hominem attacks and saying that they are too far away to know is a little daft in my opinion.
They know what's going on, they know the structure and they know physics, why would we not trust scientists from one of the most trusted institutes around?
I will value their opinions much more than anyone on MSM.
