Robustness of statistical gossip and the Antarctic ozone hole

Excerpts

This myth was the result of a statement made by one of my colleagues in reply to a question during an interview on the science program NOVA in which he was asked why NASA did not discover the ozone hole first. He was not directly involved in ozone processing at that time and his answer was not correct.
