re: Scale - "bacillus" was a joke

PHILLIP: "My point is that this distribution of the darker particles on the vertical surfaces has more resemblance to a bacterial culture from an agar plate than it does to a semi-random distribution of dust, though of course some dust is present."

MY REPLY: How so? Please cite the peer-reviewed literature you are relying upon that speaks to the difference in distribution between dust and giant bacilli and apply those principles here. Why does the distribution of the darker spots resemble bacterial culture and not something else on non-biological origin? Rather than just stating this, explain it and back it up. You claim you're a scientist...well, behave like one.

The fact is, you are just making this up. You want to believe you are looking at "putative lifeforms," so that's what you imagine you are looking at. Its pure hogwash.
