The pear doesn't fall far from the tree?

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory, or PEAR, is shutting down:

"For 28 years, we've done what we wanted to do, and there's no reason to stay and generate more of the same data," said the laboratory's founder, Robert G. Jahn, 76, former dean of Princeton's engineering school and an emeritus professor. "If people don't believe us after all the results we’ve produced, then they never will."

Ya think?
