[edit] Incorrect original research
This article contains the claim "A difficulty with (Viall's micronuke theory) is that the smallest tactical nuclear weapon has a yield of approximately 10 kilotons; an explosion of this magnitude would have levelled Bali." There are many tactical nuclear weapons with yields of significantly less than 10 kilotons. See for example the W30 atomic demolition munition. Not to say that Viall's theory is credibly - it's clearly not - but the article's statement is false. PubliusFL 18:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- This was my mistake, due to an incorrect reading of tactical nuclear weapons. It should be corrected. The difficulty with avoiding some measure of original research here is that Viall's claims are so odd, and so obscure, that they are not made by any credible source and, therefore, not rebutted by any credible source. However, if this claim is to be retained, it would seem odd to simply present it without any context. Would be good to have your thoughts on a better approach. LeContexte 14:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
