Oh Sandy, that's got to be Paul Anderson's great gum pigment ratio
test.... Another case of copying without credit, as all these books do
except Luis Nadeau. (He can be wrong but at least he cites the original.)
Meanwhile, I rarely bet less than a million dollars, but i'd bet 2 million
Crawford never did it, or if he did never ran a control. Meanwhile, you
may have noticed my cri de coeur of 1/2 hour ago, subject line something
like "the great GPR test". Are you trying to egg me on?
