This is not an emergency. More of a professional question. As a sociologist of science I wind up sticking my nose into a lot of other scientists' fields of expertise. Now I'm sorting through a megastack of articles on DNA match probabilities in forensic science, and I think I may have stumbled over a flaw in their math reasoning concerning the way they're applying (or merely ritually mentioning?) Harvey-Weinberg equilibrium. But I'd better check with an expert (or two or three) before I go charging out into print with an exposé. If there's anybody here who can check my reasoning, PM me and I'll get back to you with what I've got.
