Mr. Chairman, providing there's adequate time, I'll be happy to respond.
I would offer this observation as a scientist, academically and professionally. Science by its very nature requires and in fact encourages vigorous debate over often complex, controversial subjects. This has been a cornerstone of my career.
In the spirit of the way the board operates, we expect vigorous debate, but we also strive towards consensus, considering that is often the best way to get to conclusions in complex situations.
