[meteorite-list] Thanks for the honest answer Dr. Grossman

[Rob Wesel]

I'd like to take a minute to thank Dr. Grossman, the only SCIENTIST to 
comment on this issue.

If you sit down and read it, it speaks volumes. A list of five reasons why 
classifications/pairings can differ and why " In most cases the error 
doesn't matter.  Researchers all know that classification errors of this 
sort happen."

At last, a NON-COMMERCIAL answer.

And the bitter bitter finale:

"On the question of pairing... for most meteorites, pairing studies are of 
little scientific interest and not worth taking the time to do.  Visual 
pairings are almost worthless. For the important meteorites, pairings get 
worked out in the scientific literature over time.  This may be unsettling 
for some dealers, but that's the way it is."

Little SCIENTIFIC interest, visual pairingsWORTHLESS

WAIT A MINUTE, WASN'T NWA 111O VISUALLY PAIRED?
Careful Dr.Grossman, you could get sued for a statement like that.

Don't think for a second folks that this is a scientific fight, Dr. 
Grossman's post is there to read, read it. It is the only unbiased post to 
date.
