It's apples & oranges, dude; science has absolutely nothing to do with revisionism! As you should know, those who don't want to believe in scientific evidence often employ pseudo-science to promote their agendas. I've seen this film myself and it is indeed fascinating on several levels. In some ways it's analogous to watching a VH-1 documentary of __________ (you-name-it, fill in the blank) band's stratospheric rise to fame followed by a "nightmare descent into drug and alcohol abuse." Errol Morris (Mr. Death) was certainly a mixed bag and unique character.AuPh
