The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

Just as I expected. atdavid attacked me personally rather than respond to my brilliant take-down of the “scientific” article he linked to in his OP. Now ask me if I was expecting anything different. It appears to me and I hope I’m not being overly judgmental but atdavid is basically saying do as I say not as I do.

Think of me as you would the caretaker Delbert Grady in The Shining. I’ve always been here.

Anyway, time to dog the walk....sunny but cold, Sunny needs her outing.

Later...
asvjerry,

Didn't Mick Jagger have something like that recently? Maybe it was a different valve.

I apologize, mentioning heart attack and pacemaker just raised an alert so I was trying to make sure you do not confuse those two. Not that I think you are not much better expert than me now, but sometimes we notice what is happening to others much more than what is happening to us.
Geez, I leave for a little while and when I come back a bromance is in full bloom. 🌺🌺🌺
Perhaps with all the bloviating and chest pumping, not to mention actual heart surgery (interesting story by the way), you missed my excellent dismissal of your attempted take down where I showed the tool you used in your attempted take down was made of Balsa wood. Do I really need to point out that you failed, in your analysis, to differentiate between loud ostriches and the silent majority, which is really not a good look since the paper, for whatever faults it has, clearly does ... but really, the tool made of Balsa was enough to take out your take down, light it on fire, and watch it go up in smoke ... which it did quickly, and with a pleasant aroma being made of Balsa.


No worries geoff, I humour you because I understand you need the mental banter to keep your mind sharp, and that you would argue from a position of obvious error or ignorance just for the sport and mental arithmetic. I see you call out snake-oil on here all the time, you just bury it in banter so many do not notice.
