[PRad] [EXTERNAL] Re: A Simple Equation for the Proton Charge Radius

[Jennifer Rittenhouse West]

I strongly agree with Patrick.  This looks like a fascinating paper, but a
theory paper cannot prove nor disprove experimental results.  It can
support one or the other values of the proton radius, that's all.  I will
read the theory paper now, because I am curious, but within the abstract,
there is a fundamental disagreement with the scientific method.  Theorists
(like myself) model nature - we hope that our models and theories are
confirmed by experiment.  This is the best we can do.  Experiments tell us
what is real - experiments always have the last word.
All the best,
Jennifer
