Of course he can - - - in a first attempt. Why? I understood Bob explaining that
VD had difficulties to explain his bad performance with a machine he got from
some sponsors. He had two possibilities. Either he could admit that he's unable
to reproduce the promissed results or he could accuse the former results of
being cheated. That however requires the direct accusation of fraud. In the
meantime I can understand why Bob is thinking about a kind of decision in this
comic affair. Certainly not because the status of a VD (who is without academic
background, but who has academics in his family as I could read...) but because
VD had a certain connection with that industry and now he is talking about
fraud, thus insulting Bob. Of course potential future sponsors should be
informed about VD and his unreasonable misbehavior. Personally I wouldn't accuse
Vincent Diepeveen of anything scientifical because he can't even follow the
importances of different experimental designs and such things. And only because
of these weaknesses he could insult Bob of fraud. For him this isn't insultive
at all because he lacks the simplest basic knowledge. Fact is he got different
numbers and because of this Bob must have committed fraud. If it wasn't so sad
for Vincent we could laugh out loud and roll on the floor. I'm still holding to
my private hypothesis that VD is just a misleaden proxy initiated to make Bob as
nervous as possible. What for? Because of Bob's critic of the incredible
nonsense of the ICGA leadership in Graz and earlier on; also now for Israel. But
since the insults are so false and without a fundament I can't believe that any
serious academic helped Vincent. Probably he's on a private agenda and is unable
to get the nonsense of his presentation. It's sad to see such a suicidal
activity.

Therefore we can only thank people like enrico, matt and you who are trying to
tell Vincent what is hopelessly wrong in his suspicions and judgements. I fear
he can't turn around the direction - although it wouldn't cost him much if he
admitted having misunderstood the whole topic. He has neither an academic career
nor a personal business at stake.
