SSM Plebiscite

[LP]

Sorry, for whatever reason, I thought you were referring to dust particles.

Surely you can see even a small amount of irony in this ? 96% of the universe is not detectable or visible, but we are told we can see / feel its effects. We can't even see the images directly, but have to rely on reconstructions. You don't see any connection between the high priests of science feeding the correct information to the minions, information that they only have proper access to, and high priests of religion in days past doing the same ?

Nope none at all PaulP, and the scientists do not do the same.

Perhaps you assert that because you haven't been able to dive into the evidence directly yourself, you are relying on 3rd party opinions. I find it a bit shocking you seem to have researched in some detail yet have come out the other side favoring of the fish-slappers, the ones working in the shadows! Experts at finding correlation without causation. That is some irony!

But I get their attraction, they are the car-salesmen of pseudoscience, the ones breaking ranks are often a scientist who has lost tenure. Scientists are feeble and subject to error like any human. The crafty ones know how science works and can navigate their way through criticism by carefully avoiding the presentation of any real evidence. Experts at finding correlation without causation.

Did you know that there is a strong correlation between cheese consumption and dying from bed sheet suffocation? Spurious but true!

I'm not sure what anyone can do about that PaulP, the New Age wizards often published based on entirely incorrect premises and never support their arguments with data, they can't because the real data takes time, a lot of money and effort none of which they have. That is no accident, the wizards of cynicism work in the shadows in the absence of scientific methods or real data, they are not scientists when they behave this way even if the have earned a PhD!

Who would be the high priest of science, Sir David Attenborough?
