Oh, Art, come on! That quote from Majerus was taken from a private
conversation he had with Don Frack, not from a scientific source. The
purpose of Majerus' conversation with Don was to clarify the truth, not to
discuss each and every fact in excruciating detail. You know very well where
the data is: it's in Majerus' book and in the journal research reports cited
in that book. This attempt by you to ignore this data by claiming that all
Majerus has is opinion is disappointing. It is a tactic worthy of Stephen
Jones, not a scientist of your caliber.
