TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

[MarkP]

I am biased in that my brother worked at the IRTF for a decade or so and went to the summit on a monthly basis. I myself visited a few times. Our experience is that the whole cultural scene has been grossly exaggerated. The premise of people claiming that construction of the TMT will interfere with their generations long practice of worship at the summit is flawed because they basically have not been there until now and from what I have heard maybe not even now.

So, people talking big who have never even been there? Sounds about right.
