Is there anyone out there who knows the normal time between production test and announcement of same?

I recognize that I'm suggesting that the timing of the announcement was delayed in order to maximixe the political impact. This may not have been the case. Either way, the facts of the so-called 'discovery' this year belie the claimed significance of the find.

A real problem lies with lazy journalism and concentration of media ownership.
