Biases for or against the project should be contained within open minds

Sep 06, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
The letter published in the 5 September edition of your newspaper, signed by Dr. Asquith Rose and Harish S. Singh, purports to be a response to one written by myself, but touches very briefly on the only two issues I raised. Instead it embarks on a furious fantasy of wild assertions that only a lunatic could infer from my previous letter. I must therefore conclude that they are responding to something other than my letter, and are once again seeking to mislead your readers with their broad, baseless and incorrect statements.
I am not sufficiently in tune with the logic of Rose and Singh to offer suitable responses to all they have written. However, on the issue of Amaila, it is my personal belief that the aborted Project lies somewhere between the terrible disaster portrayed by its opponents and the wonderful solution described by its proponents. Just where can only be determined by a careful examination of the facts and a clear understanding of all the assumptions and projections on which the project was based. Biases for or against the project are to be expected but should be contained within open minds if any useful engagement on the matter is to be had and sensible decisions reached.
If Rose and Singh think it is useful to continue this discussion along the lines of their latest effort then I wish them luck. I will not be engaging them further.
