    I am not sure. 
    W-induced and Z-induced interactions and the nuclear effects are different,
    and hopefully these effects have been properly taken into account by the 
    Collaboration.
    NuTeV result is either:
    
    - indication of new physics (this is always a fun topic to discuss, but I am 
    not sure if this workshop is the right place)
    - indications that the nuclear effects are different in a way inconsistent
    with the Standard Model
    - indication that some of the effects were not properly accounted for (hard to 
    discuss without a very detailed discussion of the analysis. Clearly not 
    possible at our workshop)
    - some other experimental problem (idem)
    
    If somebody has a sensible ideas what the result may mean, it could be an 
    interesting talk, but I am afraid that a general discussion would be a waste 
    of time..
    
    Cheers
