• describing a fourteen year-old black lung case as \unconscionably protracted\ and noting that \[s]uch delay is not easy to understand\
• noting that the question of whether a miner had black lung disease is not one of “faet[ ] in the lay sense,” but observing that the question is nevertheless treated as one of fact for the purposes of deciding whether a “mistake in a determination of fact” has been made
• where ALJ’s stated basis for reopening black lung benefits case was unfounded, decision could not be affirmed even though evidence ALJ cited might have justified reopening on another ground
