Not all work on Nuclear weapons design. And even among those who do there is considerable disagreement over many issues. But They all pretty much agree on a few low level conclusions. If they didnt, they'd look like fools. It's easy to see when to look at the numbers and know what the numbers mean. We dont have a lot of fools in the business. We do have quite a few on the net, where disproval is a bit harder. You think it funny if someone told you an 8080 did 80 megaflops. I feel the same way when I hear this 'blow up the world X times' nonsense. Milo
