How is he ducking it?

He is not responding in any way to repeated attempts to find an
acceptable bet on the matter. No counter-offers, no discussion, in fact
no reply at all to the most recent attempts at contact.

He has, however, claimed in conversation with a journalist that he is
willing to back his forecast with a bet (as quoted above, from the
Nature article). Perhaps if you are in contact with him you would like
to ask him about it.

LOL - I didn't get a reply from him to an email inquiry some time ago
either. I didn't presume that he was ducking or ignoring me, however.
I'd probably write him a snail mail letter, at least, before even
considering using the kind of language you use.

But he did reply at first (via email to wmc, as well as the Nature
quote) and feigned interest, it was only when the subject turned to the
details of any proposed bet that he went all coy. Of course I
understand your reluctance to accept that one of your heros might be
stronger on talk than action, but it certainly puts his bluster into
perspective.

I don't have a problem with uncertainty. If I could jump to conclusions
as easily as you, maybe I'd agree with you more often.

Very truly,
