I felt it was a long shot that the fishing boat could have been in the same place at sea, at the same height, on the same swell etc, it destroyed any early preconceptions I had entertained, that information might be tied to absolute positions in spacetime, i.e. a position on the earth, like a place, where a castle was, or an old house was, or where stonehenge was. Following that, I had to change my ideas to allow information to be related to relative positions in spacetime... those ideas have since changed, and been developed much further.

Who is the "others" that you refer to, Max. More to the point can you explain specifically how this (potential in your view) error in the study is likely to occur and why you think you are better qualified to spot it than the researchers themselves ?
