Wow, you really hit the nail on the head. Frankly I only vaguely understand his theory, but I sense he is really onto something.
In fact I do the same thing he does, advertise my theory on plant hormones on Google. See http://www.planthormones.info. I’m just as convinced I’m right, my stuff holds water just like his seems to.
Keep in mind he is paying so you can read his stuff. Most of the time, in this world, the arrangement is the other way around. Pay attention to the spirit of his enterprise evident in the work. Brian is doing a service.
