So, like Antonio, only people who share your view are entitled to any credence?

Because I adhered strictly to Herr Baschung's instructions that the windows be closed (which is my normal practice anyway, so that I don't annoy the neighbours). So, the room was closed the whole afternoon, and for the test.

See above. You have lost your bet, and another substantial slice of your credibility. The room is not big, about 4-4.5 M square. in the basement.

Pete, with respect, I think people would give you more credence if you didn't affect your "bitter and twisted" tone with everyone who thought differently from you. By all accounts you're a regular guy (apart from some odd beliefs ), so why not be that? Do you really feel so threatened by the nasty sceptics that you have to hit the sarcasm button every time?
