Uh, you read "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field--" a book that contains stories of Mullis doing such a quantity of drugs that he forgot basic concepts like what a poem was, Mullis talking about how he believes strongly in astrology and UFOs, and an episode where he hallucinates John Wayne's voice, which causes him to start shooting his assault rifle into the woods at random in hopes of killing some kind of creature or alien-- and you concluded that Mullis's claims were plausible at all?

That book struck me as incredibly strong evidence that Mullis wasn't credible.
