Graphite Guy have you spoken to either of these Professors ?I share some of your concerns regarding the past performance of SJL. Having said this I hardly think that the News releases relating to the University of Waterloo and the National Research council are meaningless as you seem to be suggesting.
Have you spoken to either Jin Zhang PhD Associate Professor Western University or Zhongwei Chen PhD Associated Professor University to get their feedback on the research that SJL claim is being done on their behalf at the University?
Perhaps you should contact these Gentlemen and then report back to this board.
Thank you
