In 2006 you published in a very respected, highly prestigious journal, Science, concerns that by 2048, world fish stocks will indeed collapse. There was some criticism of your work, I think you'll agree. In particular Dr. Hilborn from the University of Washington stated that your thesis could not be supported. Subsequent to that, you republished with Hilborn and several other co-authors another entry in Science, where you stepped down from your original 2006 position. How would you categorize it?
