The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: Yes.
Adv. Mr. D. Or Chen: And you agree, if so, there are changes in the DNA and the mechanisms of... The body's repair mechanisms can't overcome, so cancer can develop, right?
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: Can.
Adv. Mr. D. Or Chen: Can. So if that's the case, if you're now approving it for me, How can you in your opinion completely negate what we have been told here Professor Shi LinExactly what I just said that you actually agree with what I said, which is what Shai Lin says. Why do you come and say Shai Lin is not right, when you actually agree with what I just told you, which is what Shai Lin says?
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: For a very simple reason. We live in a world of probabilities, and if you talk to me about an event of probability, that is, it happens with a probability of 0.01%, then I'm in a world where you have to answer yes or no, you'll answer no, and when you have a reality whose probability is 90%, like in the case of smoking, for example, you'll answer yes, because that's how we live. We're trying to be binary, but the world is a huge spectrum. In our body, DNA breaks down 5,000 times a day, and we repair it 5,000 times a day. I warned earlier that I don't define myself as an expert in the field. I've been dealing with it for many years. It's enough that once in 70 years, once in 500 years, he won't correct himself, that a cell will start its path toward cancer. It doesn't cause cancer yet, it's just starting its way. So the immune system kicks in, and so on. I'm not going to go into too long because it's bothering people, So I say in short, the theoretical concept exists, its probability is happily zero in the nothingness.

Adv. Mr. D. Or Chen: Professor, you're basically telling us that with regard to cancer, the issue of the causal relationship is less than a causal relationship with, say, about certain pollutants emitted by the factories, whose causal relationship to a cancer outbreak is less than the causal relationship between smoking and cancer?
