re: #418 the_thermonuclear_pickle

Charles, you’re beginning to sound very much like the people you critique. Nobody, ever, should be free from critique because of their occupation.

And no one should build such easily destroyed straw men, because I never said anything like that.

You also place too much faith in peer review. Peer review does not check the facts, it’s not a recalculation of the science - it is simply a case of looking for glaring fundamental mistakes.

And I don’t place too much faith in peer review either; I know exactly the role it plays in the scientific method, and posted a comment in an earlier thread that you might want to see before tossing that straw man at me.

Scientists are not infallible.

Didn’t say that either. Straw men seem to be your specialty.
