Bill, 
You're no doubt the one person on this list who best understands 
the difference between your model and the "conventional" model.  
Before anyone does these experiments, what would you say your model 
will predict correctly and the conventional model will predict 
incorrectly in these two proposed experiments?  I'm looking for
what we will see; how we will know.
Thanks much,
John B
