By the way, I think that the issue rased by Jack is worth
discussing. Yesterday Jack Uretsky wrote:

I would like to see comments on this from people conducting
educational experiments. Note that one can also ask: How
many experimental papers have you seen where the proponent
of a new physics theory reported on negative results? It is very
hard to be objective. It is better when theories are tested by those
who have are likely to be more objective than "proponents."
