   I'm skeptical.  I perused the website today and found it highly biased.
The abysmal lack of documentation didn't help either.  Furthermore, the
claims on that page are already very strange, so I would need quite a bit
of independant collaboration for the author's remarks.  Finally, I'm always
skeptical of web sites which claim that they have some "remarkable revelation"
to which the entire world is ignorant of, or is in rebellion against, etc.

   In short, PLEASE don't put that on your web page. :-)
