Oh, I thought you were! I remember you from many nuclear related topics on here. Didn't remember anyone else tho, so in my book you're the expert. Haha! :) Hol

Oh, I thought you were! I remember you from many nuclear related topics on here. Didn't remember anyone else tho, so in my book you're the expert. Haha! :) Holy shit you were there? That's interesting. Sounds like an Aussie survey team observing the test? But from your description of the conditions it seems India was a very wild place back then. Well your account of it supports the sincerely ignorant thesis for this. Again, the questioning could be a ruse, or different parts of the US bureaucracy, but it's very interesting. And it sounds like you've made up your mind that it was sincere ignorance. It's all new to me so I'm keeping an open mind but I appreciate your perspective and facts. A healthy does of real experience is always welcome to counter all the narratives pushed every which way. Regarding the Aussie survey team you were a member of being coincidentally present at the time of the test that to me sounds like just the kind of thing that (presumably Aussie) intelligence services would organize, a non confrontational and covert way to collect some data on it maybe? I don't know. Sounds as if you're non too happy with how the US has massaged perceptions of various things, including possibly things drawn directly from or related to stuff you've contributed to, and want to speak truth to that power or at least expose the truths and lies. Well good on you! A strong system should never be afraid of the truth, and flip flops on truth send a discouraging signal about competence, etc. Always full of surprises your account is haha! :)
