I'm wondering a bit if I took Prof Wegmans credentials a bit too much on faith. A commenter on the previous post wrote I'm not too knocked out by Wegman's credentials as a prof at George Mason U, nor do...

There is apparently a strange thing called the Wegman report. Sadly that link only contains Smokey Joe Bartons comments on selected extracts (does anyone know where the full thing is? Is it published? Also quite what the committee/panel is, is...
