NIF paper

I hear someone at NIF wrote a long paper on the state of ICF that included bogus information, and it sparked a firestorm of criticism, internal investigations, etc. Anyone know the story?

Who could get through such a long paper? I just read the end about the high foot stuff. Doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me. Lindl is a pretty smart guy.

That paper follows in the glorious tradition of LLNL and the deuterium EoS scandal.

So the paper does exist. I would like to hear more on the reaction to the paper; who reacted, how they reacted, what level were they in the power structure.

It is loaded with confirmation bias.
