I think this is interesting to read and constructive for the discussion, but "a scientist who was a witness" is a fairly misleading description. This is not like an independent expert that was just called in for the trial, which is what I first thought when I read your description, this is someone with a very long (10+ year) history of personal conflict with Mann. That doesn't mean anyone should discount his opinion, but it's very important context for reading the post. > As I said at the trial, Mann has not been the best colleague to me, but I am fine even so. Who knows what demons haunt him and why he behaves the way that he does. I do hope he can find peace at some point. Clearly this person's perspective is driven by more than just being "a scientist".
