What an interview can reveal
A long conversation can clarify chronology, objectives, institutions and decisions, or point toward unfamiliar documents. Personal memory, even from a central participant, cannot substitute for contracts, reports, experimental data and correspondence open to examination.

The interview may contribute substantially to the history of research without proving claims about the phenomena’s origin. Funding and government involvement establish institutional interest, but not every conclusion participants reached.
