So just what was it that you intended to convey by:

Well let's do it and get an idea of what the areas of my expertise
are.

The spurious hits are mainly my late dad (p.f.).


Go find the rest of the papers with my name on them (Wareing)

I am caught between a rock and a hard place - either
totally ignorant or corrupted by funding.

There is of course a third possibility. You could conceivably be
knowledgeable and not the recipient of any potentially corrupting funding. I
take it you're eliminating that possibility.

The funding has increased but what really kills funding is scientific
dishonesty or even just one honest mistake.

Although this research adds to the jigsaw there is no yes/no to GW to
be had from it, so it is hard to see how it could possibly be
corrupted by public funding or any expectations of government. Why any
government would actually *want* a "yes" answer is beyond reason.
