At the beginning there was dilemma whether Carl's Couder or James Robo is
OK. After really impressive set of tests ( I do not understand where from
James has the energy he is displaying, perhaps he is  robot himself),
the controversy was not solved.
In James words "To hopefully solve this dilemma",  Bob Royce was
called in. There are three possible outcomes.
His measurements will ether confirm Carl's, James or none of them. If James
"wins", " ATM optical testing using Couder mask (which has
ten's of decades of history supporting it's results)" is in serious
trouble ( And Richard will blow fanfare instead of oboe).

If Carl wins, we are at the beginning in searching WHY robo Foucault is so
(consistently) faulty.

If neither Carl nor James are right, discussion will inevitably include
 " Double Pass Auto Collimation Ronchi Test" credibility. ( I personally
would appreciate greatly
short explanation about this method or reference on relevant reading, is
this method comparable to
interferometric in accuracy. I am ready to put more than my two cents in financing
state of the art testing of the Zambuto mirror in order to have at least
one undisputable
and rock solid result on this mirror for further reference).

It seems that it is  now prime time for announcing results ( even
preliminary) from Round Robin Mirror Testing campaign. ( If it was already
announced, I missed it.)
