Mr. Sosimo Ma. Pablico:

The profession you are in allows no mistake. Any word or two could make or break a person. What you write is the guideline for readers especially the young ones. Any misinformation they gleaned is destructive to their educational growth.

You disagreed most profoundly when I said your articles are full of confusion which is true basing on the simple analysis on what you wrote.

Mr. Brando Garcia, on his post on the 3rd discussed the implications of cloning on his understanding how you explained biotechnology which a lay person could comprehend very clearly it was cloning . . . the horizontal transfer of genetic material.

But, just looking at what Miss Danilda can do, I can say with utmost sincerity, she is not yet capable of specie duplication on her experience, her knowledge and what kind of equipment at her disposal.

When you made that fatal mistake of the relation of cryopreservation and vitrification you seemed oblivious to the consequence that you might get caught with the infraction. Still, you wrote it up without proper research, assuming it will pass. It did not.

Was it huris, Mr. Pablico that drove you to such a blunder? The overconfidence of your persona? That you were so sure of yourself you need no editor to look it up?

My basis, Mr. Pablico, on the confusion you sown on your articles is not at random. I don’t have to read your write-ups since the sixties to see how you performed. There was a precedent prior to my post on the 8th.

My post on the 28th of April disputed your enthusiastically endorsed innovation of Bautista and Tadeo of the PRRI on the walk-behind tractor we call “kuliglig”. Though it was problematically impossible to put the additives on a machine designed for simplicity, you without proper engineering consultation trumpeted to a gullible public such machine is capable for change. Never heard from you, Bautista and Tadeo if that idea tanked or you made a financial killing. Your silence meant it took a dive.

I knew then your journalistic consistency is something to be desired. Defective.

Well, Mr. Pablico, let me be unambiguous. Before you offer any advice remember what I always emphasized in the Forum . . . . don’t get caught.
