You keep ignoring the elephant in the room: that she was wrong (in the charitable interpretation). Why?

I'd appreciate it if you could state clearly whether you think

- F. got it wrong, or

- she knew/assumed early on that it was a helix, but lied about it?

Thank you.

As to whether the X-rays should have been seen by Crick/Watson, The research was publically funded. Publically funded research should be open and transparent. Or do you disagree with transparency of taxpayer money? Would it have even been legally possible for F. to refuse the communication of her tax-payer funded results?
