Godes and Mills have much in common:
1. They are not lone wolves. They have other scientists working side by side in the lab, staff, and BOD's. Hard to get that many on board if a scam, or keep them around if the experimental results are exaggerated, weak, or of little commercial value. Without that going for them, I doubt anyone would pay them much attention after this many years in the game with so little to show.
2. Many solid validations in the case of BLP, and a professional independent replication at SRI's lab of the BEC QPulse system.
3. Both have theories that I have seen described as absurd.
All things considered, I really do not think either one is in a position to cast aspersions on the other.
