What do you think? Analysis? Feedback? Are the arguments sound?

There is so much wrong with this article, I really don't know where to start. Who the hell wrote it?

Given the downplaying of O's R and the constant emphasis on "evidence," I'd guess it was written by a skeptic, but I could be wrong.

Purple scissors wrote it. He is a regular poster here. Didn't you know? WIkiSynergy is his site.

What is wrong with the article? It seems to make sense.

I have not seen that nickname here yet.

Either way, here is an old article I wrote (when I was still a skeptic) which gives my own position on O's R:

Overall, I thought the article was great. It, along with Franc28's definition, are the most fleshed out definitions I've encountered to date. I love that Wiki site.
