Frank, You write: > You mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you are > somewhat "pessimistic" about lunars. Doesn't all of this make you even a > little more "optimistic"? The disagreement on the general accuracy of Lunars concerns only interpretation of the results. About the published results themselves, there can be no disagreement as long as we trust their authors. And interpretation of results is always subjective. Subjective is the meaning of a sentences like "generaly the accuracy of X miles (or minutes) can be realiably achieved". I take a "conservative" point of view about the words "generally" and "reliably". Alex.
