Re: Some thoughts about process

[Zandbergen@xxxxxxxxxxx (Rene Zandbergen)]

Making an overview of 'observations' (rather than hypotheses) is
of prime importance. Whenever new journalists approach one
of us for a 'story' on the VMs, they want to know about
breakthroughs. Over the years there have been a number of
new remarkable 'observations', none of which could be 
readily understood by anyone who is not already familiar
with the problem. Thus, we cannot report any breakthroughs, but
still progress is being made all the time.

If we keep adding new observations, at some point a 'critical
mass' might be reached and the puzzle could be solved
(possibly also in the negative sense, that there is proof of
nonsensical contents of the MS).

Cheers, Rene
