        while this is undoubtedly true for hobbiest researchers, there are
        pretty good relationships between vendors and some research facilities 
        with a strong interst in ensuring there is external review of the
        code base(es).

        (I am personally aware of at least five such facilities...:)

        hence I am going to have to echo Randys sentiments.  This was just
        sloppy.
