  3. Ahhh, what am I here for, but to discuss opinion... my opinion is that Glickman did good work, and is a good guy. I mightly disagree with almost everything he thinks, but we respect each other and are friends. It is ironic that I would be asked in a forum to defend hijm, it's been a long time, over a decade really, but I feel like expressing more opinions. So, did you do the RFP work? I mean did you actually read the paper? The height estimate the Gman produced of 7' 3.5" came from a dead tree that patty walked next to, which in the early 1970s was still there, and an 8 ft ruler was placed on it. This was superimposed on the p film, which gave the Gman an 8 foot ruler that patty walked right next to. The measurement was confirmed by a stick that patty stepped on , which Dahinden had in a trunk, and which Chris Murphy measured at 22". Using this stick as a ruler, the height was also measured at 7' 3.5", which confirmed the other method. So, why would the distance of the camera matter at all in using these two methods to estimate the height? It wouldn't. So, as I said at the time, it seems to me people didn't understand the paper, and were predisposed to reject it all if they thought they found one mistake. I imagine that P has determined the distance to the camera, or knows someone who has. We all make contributions, we all have a piece of the puzzle. I say getting a null hypothesis paper into Nature is hard and rare, you say its easy and common. That's why we call it opinion. Ever try to get a null hypothesis paper into Nature? all the best T
