If I had to guess it could possibly be to figure out how to squelch the blow-back with plausible alternate causation as the gain of function testing may have started in a US college, then shut down by President Obama, then that block may have been possibly side stepped by a few people that may have had some financial incentives and may have had access to alternate funding and may have moved it out of country to maybe avoid scrutiny and then it all blew up. Imagine being financially culpable for the world wide fallout? So I guess it makes sense that it could in theory be treated as a national security issue. That's just a guess though.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 3y agoThat seems like an oddly specific guess. Not saying wrong, not even implausible, just...specific.

Then to filter out the results I consult 3 different magic eight-balls and note the results. I strive to get the lowest P-value otherwise I discard the data. I think all the years of watching "Look Around You" embedded a sense of scientific rigor in me.
