The decision is the science...we should test this hypothesis by removal of the chemical from the environment.....then we review. Talking about doing science but not actually doing anything isn't really science in my opinion.
In a lab, it is easy to test into bankruptcy without drawing any definitive conclusion as the natural environment cannot be 100% replicated.
Removing it from the _actual) environment is the only true test (in my opinion) and using this approach we are actually performing a scientific activity on which to base future decisions.
Time will tell if it works. Then decisions can be revised.
I'd also be interested to know if anyone has done a study of the effects of wireless communications on bees.
Its interesting that the timing of CCD bee problems somewhat overlap with the massive take up of mobile phones and related supporting infrastructure not to mention Wifi and spread spectrum.
I would also add...the mechanism is ill conceived..apart from the initial obvious reasons
Fancy asking for money....then saying...we'll get in contact with you soon...how overly presumptuous that their content...anything that can be clicked..is worth that much of your time. That is simply outrageous.
The first click should bring up PayPal(or similar) with a dollar figure.
Two.. maybe three clicks should allow me to have completed the transaction.
In some cases I could rationalize paying...but being disrespected hurts more.
They should also understand net dynamics...start at something really small (like 10 cents), then grow it over time.
Deployments only get one shot to set the tone in peoples mind about their offering...then its really hard to turn that around.
In my humble opinion, they are found wanting with this....and their poor page code execution adds an unfortunate final drop of embarrassment.
Don't hack the page...Natpost won't get all that money for those duplicated electrons they need to remain carbon neutral.
Instead select, then click-drag and drop onto your favorite text editor - this clones the electrons, reducing unnecessary waste and it appears the natpost is perfectly happy for you to do it this way.
I know it's version 1 and not even out of click wrap but as a Mac Fanboy who wants to drop his Winblows Mobile 5 where are the following:
A sim management application to copy your details from your old phone into Apple's contacts framework
Vibrating Ring (A must for meetings)
An alarm clock function.
Ability to open/view keynote, powerpoint or word attachments from the email
A screen that can be seen under direct sunlight
SD Card slot for future expansion
A camera on the front for future VoiceCall expansion later down the track
..and extras like those found on my current XDA Atom:
Voice recognition calling.
FM radio so you can listen to live events in non Wifi zones (In Australia this occurs more regularly)
The little silver circle next to the camera on the back that allows you to aim it correctly when taking photos of yourself (sad..but useful)
Stereo speakers to provide decent sound if you wish to use an MP3 alarm.
Finally - I think they believe they feel they have made the right choice using a touchscreen keypad but I have found like many..that you loose that tactile feel. Even the latest O2 Stealth has learnt this lesson and provided keys behind as a slide in addition to a touchscreen keypad...
Without keys you can't dial without looking at the device at this makes one handed operation fairly difficult.
I recommend Apple place a number pad as a slide behind in their next model or work out a way they can exercise the polymers in the touchscreen to provide temporary shape...well I can dream can't I?
...Not sure what I'll do for syncing lotus notes now that Intellisync is now owned by Nokia...*sigh*

It was true when they played it. Its still true: http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/udhxf8/futurama-31st-century-internet
