I third that agreement. I was referring, however, to a program on bioweapons research done on PBS by Nova (I think) which mentioned specific work done by the Soviets while they were denying they were doing any research (and in fact had signed a treaty to the effect to the US, which did comply). I'm not going to contaminate this thread any further with real WMD as the imaginary one has taken the title.

In another thread the subject came up as to how do you convince people (in that case the anti-vaccine crowd) that one set of information is bogus and another set is true. In this thread we have an assertion which doesn't jive with the facts, and no data in support of it at all. So I just put it down as entertainment.
