There is no secret that just like inventors, scientists compete with each other, and some agressively so. There is also no secret that their is a political heirachy in science. Those who operate on the outside, and those with minority theories or positions are treated with contempt from inside, also no great revalation there.

Additionally, it is known that vested commercial interests will agressively attempt to discredit anything or anyone that impacts them or their ventures and investments negatively.

Data analysis techniques is quite complex in science....as is the terminology scientists use. ...as with many other speciality professions. Does it not seem reasonable to question those who stole the e-mails....as to who they represent...Is it illogical to suspect it may be vested interests?

If you were a vested interest, in possession with vast #s of private emails....is it illogical to question whether some e-mails selected to be made public were selective, possibly taken out of context or chosen to reflect something not intended....given the differences in language used by the science community.

Is it wise to jump the gun...or to wait for a response? I suspect the scientists who are targeted must read the entire material themselves before recalling the context of a particular e-mail.
