Yeah - unfortunately when your dealing with the sciences - you often encounter - what could be called "Speculated Theories" - where even well-respected scientists may take facts and twist them to fit a speculation that they have. And unfortunately or fortunately(depending on your view)- it's something that happens in every scientific community - from Astrophysics to Zoology.

And usually - these "Speculated Theories" are ultimately proven false.

A couple of famous Note Worthy cases of this - in other fields include.

- From Paleontology - The T.rex Scavenger Debate.

- From Astrophysics - the Hawkin Paradox.

Still "Speculated theories" often fire up/anger other scientists in to finding facts to disprove these theories. or at very least causes other scientists to start thinking out side the normal "box" of established ideas. Which is the long run is actually a good thing.

Agreed, my problem is that when these "proofs" show up on the internet or on newspapers, people believe it, then let those things dictate their worldview. Not everyone has a scientist they can go ask to see if the info they heard is true.

....I could go into it further, but that would simply bore most of you, LOL. Simple fact is - There was a male influence in every case.

Like most of what you say. And are you saying the females were in with males, or that the men are lying to make themselves look better?

And when did you come back to Earth? You never write, you never call......

OK...So it took me a few hours in my car driving home from work for this to hit me, but I just realised what you meant when you were saying "Like most of what you say"..... You didn't mean it was "male influenced".........You meant it was boring!!!!!!! Grrrrrr, LOL you're grounded!!!!

*Pay no attention to the fact that it really did take me a few hours to realise that.

Very cool! I think I has something to do with since They have been around for 30 million years in case a Male doesn't show up it Enables them to reproduce,and keep the species going on.

True becuse maby one fish was a Male and they didn't know. ( although slim chances of that )

And there in lies the problem - people who don't know different tend to believe lies others tell them.

But the truth is you shouldn't believe everything you see on the TV News or read on the Net. Which is simple common sense.

And it doesn't always take a scientist with a PhD to uncover the truth about these "lies". Sometimes all it takes is a person who has scientific mind, above high school working knowledge of the subject, and a commitment to find out the truth for themselves.

...... and a commitment to find out the truth for themselves.

That's the kicker right there.

They had a staff of 3 Sr level Aquarists working on green sawfish breeding in captivity prior to my start. I've got 4 interns working on it now that have made ten fold the progress on the situation.

It's all about being dedicated to the project at hand.
