Byrne and Bees

I didn't mean to endorse all his views on the disappearing bees by my one-liner. I just couldn't resist a pun. This reader does actually make sense:

Real scientists are looking at a pathogen right now, although they still don't know what's up.  He's letting his (quite unscientific) biases against genetically modified food guide him to conclusions that confirm his preconceptions. There is no data right now suggesting GM crops have anything to do with this, and only crazed anti-GM ideologues will tell you otherwise.

Also, his Einstein quote is most likely made up, which makes sense, seeing as he was a physicist and not a biologist.
