O/T Richard.

I read a book ages ago on the Bre-X scandal (from the library, can’t remember the author).

“did he jump or was he pushed”

can you guess the authors conclusion?

in good Bender spirit i will now go back & read Steve’s post on this.

Excellent .. reminds me of a 17th Century English author complaining about the inferiority of contemporary English architecture, because most of their buildings were built from wood, while the ancients built all of their buildings out of solid stone.

This is quite possibly the best description of the dendro situation. I plan on stealing it extensively IRL conversations. Much obliged!

With the addition of the Polar Yurals, your sample size has gone up dramatically. Except for that notch around the late 1500s, looks like fairly
good sample size for the rest, which should make the results more reliable,
and not as likely to be skewed by a few out-there trees. Adding Polar Urals
only helps.

If a tree is cored in the forest and no one analyses it is there anything to publish?

OT, but short:

The reason for the JORC code being used as the de-facto standard on reporting mineral deposit properties to the various SX’s is that people invest heavily in mining projects and if they are mislead on the quantum/quality of a deposit, may lose their shirt, as it were

This system was generated by the Poseidon scandal in Aus and re-inforced by Bre-X

An interesting irony is that the paper about which journal editor Briffa wrote
“I am really sorry but I have to nag about that review – Confidentially I now need a hard and if required extensive case for rejecting – to support Dave Stahle’s and really as soon as you can. Please”
was rejected mainly because the authors (loyal team supporters, not skeptics) did not use a very high proportion of the trees they had sampled.
(see Russell evidence no 115).
There were ‘only’ 61 trees used. Remind me again how many Briffa used in Yamal?…
