Sorry, but that *is* how it works. NOBODY can provide a
cite to an absense of information, which is what Matt is
requesting of me.



So you are admitting that you have no information. Great!


Shizam!!


Estimates... that makes it, not a "proven reserve", but
what is called a "probable reserve". They are guessing
based on a lack of drilled wells to demonstrate that
there is *any* oil there at all.


To be intellectually honest there is no way to PROVE oil reserves short of
pumping it ALL out of the ground and counting the barrels. Until you do
that it is all an educated guess. So I posted an educated guess that there
is 10.4 billion barrels under ANWR.

BINGO!!

Recall note about "Pre-Conceptual" thinking and the Flat Earth types.


So to get he information and proof you want we have to pump what is there
out. I say we go for it. If when they empty it out and if we find you are
right and I am wrong I will publicly apologize.

And most likely you will use your own capital to find out whether you're
right or wrong. Oil exploration firms do this all the time.

If the promise of my apology isn't enough think how much money the big,
mean oil companies will loose if there isn't enough oil there. That should
make you happy.
