For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)

You'd be surprised. Back in the 70's and 80's, you could write or phone an academic, a scientist, author, musicians, craftsmen and have long discussions .. considering you were interested in their work or wanted their advise. Sometimes, talking on the phone for 3 or 4 hours .. to a total stranger, discussing their work or listening and advising.
People who make lots of assumptions usually don't make good scientists or thinkers.

If you think talking to a scientist constitutes going to a scientific meeting then you are really lost. If you think talking to many people doing research constitutes being involved in a scientific meeting then you are really lost.

If you think team meetings, collective review or group thinking is doing science, Nostradamus is lost.

I wasn't involved in any of that. Basically Kevin you haven't a leg to stand on.
You post nonsense about me that has no foundation. Your claim to fame is writing some letters and chatting to people doing science.
Next you post some unrelated nonsense characterizing science in general.
Good night. Hope you can go over to the homeopathy thread and take the time to post some evidence. I was told your forte was justifying dispensing distilled water as medicine. So why don't you go over there and tell us all what properly done scientific studies validate homeopathy. I'm hoping that chatting and letter writing has rubbed off real science and the knowledge of a proper study on you.
And I did notice how you dropped your nonsense claims that science is all about rubber stamping. A quaint claim from a rube at best.

Dude, you made the claim that science works by hierarchical or peer evaluation of claims. Maybe you meant teaching students or inspecting watermelon. Are you a watermelon inspector by any chance?

I don't see the point in quoting you for the third time. If you don't understand the words you yourself said, I can't help you.

Can't help you NJ. It was nonsensical babbling as far as I was concerned.
