I can show you some articles of his...and counter articles. I'd be happy to provide any more insights by phone. Paul does enjoy energetic arguments on the subject. In fact, on in the lay press coverage of the Hay Nature paper (which by the way we still have another 2 weeks wait before can start bugging the journal for a decision) -he and I were quoted representing the opposing sides on the issue. Feel free to give me a call.
