  Contrary to claims that the problem has been solved, the astrophysical E1
S-factor of \c12ag is not yet well known. R-Matrix analyses of elastic
scattering data,\c12ag data, and data on the beta-delayed alpha-particle
emission of N16 are not consistent and a small S-factor solution SE1(300)
cannot be ruled out. In particular, data on the beta- delayed alpha-particle
emission of N16 do not agree. The unaltered Mainz data do not agree with
TRIUMF, but agree with both Seattle and Yale-UConn. The TRIUMF col- laboration
has recalibratedthe Mainz('71) data; however, we dispute both the alteration of
the Mainz data performed by the TRIUMF col- laboration and the very
justification for the recalibration.
