Edge
I am the one who has read Blatt et al.
I am still intereseted in the quote if you can find it but yor summary of it does in no way detract from the novelty of Bertahult and Julien's work! You are
incredibly biased Edge. Their work shows step by step the mechanisms of sorting by which layers of differnet compositons can be simultaneously and rapidly laid down under varied regimes of particle size and currents.
You are like the party poopers at the departmental coffee table where you tell them about a new paper and they say
'Oh but that's been known for years'.
And then I say: 'Funny how it got into PNAS this week then isn't it?'
They say 'Oh?'.
And I say, 'Maybe their work significantly added to the field'?
Then they don't say anything.
It's nothing short of jealosy.
