I suppose my point to them was that the radioactivity in a
"radioactive tube" wasn't any where near the radioactivity of the

going to eat the "radioactive" parts of the tube, it was really no
stretch of the imagination to believe it was a hazard to humans, as it
was many times lower than the background radiation from the Big Bang
we COULD easily measure....
