My observation is that it is mostly Jones' fellow travelers making
the ex cathedra argument; if Jones himself is doing so he's certainly
being more subtle than TRUTH.

I guess I'd have to look deeper in Prof. Jones "work" on the subject, though
I'm content to go with your evaluation.

My assertion is based on Jones' public statements that he's merely
offering a hypothesis and advocating further investigation. Jones
hasn't made any statements along the lines of "I'm a full professor of
physics at a major university, what other evidence do you need?"

Here is one of the more amusing things about TRUTH's argument. If one
really want to argue based on credentials, a full professorship at a
major university is a much more exclusive credential than a Ph.D. in
physics. The ultimate credential is a named chair, e.g., the "Fred and
Ethyl Mertz Chair in Physics," but Jones isn't quite into that
rarified club. (Originally I was just being cheeky, but then I got to
thinking, if Fred and Ethyl held onto that apartment building they
owned in that nice neighborhood in Manhattan, they _would_ be wealthy
enough to endow a chair!)

Yes indeed, but one question remains: why would someone with as much
education and capability as Prof. Jones propose such a hypothesis? With his
background it makes no sense that he would fail to do even the most basic
checks that would reveal just how "out there" his hypothesis is. Could it be
some wild experiment he's conducting to see just who and how many would fall
into line with his hypothesis, or does he truly believe he's right?

I have no earthly idea, except to note that Jones isn't the first
academic scientist to propose "out there" hypotheses in fields outside
his original discipline. Sir Fred Hoyle's panspermia hypothesis
springs to mind as one example.

Regards,

George
