Okay, Dave. I'm willing to have an open mind. If you can provide links to 
studies where the results are inconclusive or even favorable (i.e. not 
unfavorable) to heating Teflon in the presence of birds and other small 
animals (or at least provide citations to journal articles where they 
appear), I'll forestall links to how statistics work and how research 
designs might result in varying results (especially in the hands of either 
people who practice "bad" science and/or those who know how to manipulate 
the design to generate results favorable to specific 
expectations/hypotheses).
