Bad Bob! No biscuit!

I like Bob Park's "What's New" newsletter, but he can be pretty shrill at times. And the times that I've written him to point out errors, I've gotten a cursory reply. If he's going to play the "I'm a physicist so I'm smarter than you" card, he should at least be, you know, correct. To wit, in regard to cell phones not causing cancer, we are told today, "[A]ll known cancer agent act by breaking chemical bonds, producing mutant strands of DNA." Uh, Bob, have you ever heard of HPV?
