You can nominate all you want. The question that concerns me more is is
Fred wrong? Generally from what he has written largely the answer is no.

I don't know Fred's resume, but I get the impression he is VERY
experienced in the field of aerospace. However, that being said, yes
from time to time he has vented his exasperation with people publicly.

That people take offense is their prerogative, but as for Fred and the
many many many threads I've seen him respond to, it kind of goes along
him taking exception to arguments that roughly go along these lines:

"I make the argument that it is impossible to kill yourself playing
so-called "Russian Roulette". I have personally tried it with a revolver
up to five times without result. Therefore the law of mathematical
induction backs me up."

It is to Fred's credit that he would argue strongly against that kind of
"science". Would you prefer Fred suggest they try one more attempt?
