PEAR Admits it's Puzzled

I e-mailed the folks at PEAR asking how they accounted for the lack of attenuation of the effect they claim to be detecting across time and space. That's a polite way of asking how the hell could something that hasn't happened yet affect something else! Basically they responded that they were puzzled about that themselves.

I feel better now. As long as people are willing to acknowledge they don't know something, there's still hope for humanity.
