"97% of scientists agree" (Cook et al 2013) deconstruction.
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:53:04 PM »
Actually more a total humiliation.

I know the study results have been grossly misquoted. I had no idea how piss-poor the original data analysis was. Is there a way to formally submit stuff like this for scholarly discreditation?

Reminds me of the Bellesiles flap:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arming_America

Especially the section on "Scrutiny" and those following.

Also reminds me of the Ward Churchill flap:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Churchill

Especially the section on "Research Misconduct Investigation":

Quote
On May 16, 2006 the University released their findings; the Investigative Committee agreed unanimously that Churchill had engaged in "serious research misconduct", including falsification, fabrication and plagiarism. The faculty committees at Colorado University unanimously found Churchill guilty of fabrication and falsification in two of his works that mentioned smallpox.

I'm sure others around here can find more reminders.

Perhaps we need to start reminding people that there was a time when the scientific consensus held that:

* The earth was flat

* The sun and the planets revolved around the earth

* ...

Don't believe your lying eyes.

The scientific consensus is gender and race are only social constructs.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Given the life expectancy of the time, that may have not been as bad as you think.

I'm still trying to punnify Uranus and its moons... especially Puck.

Uranus... Moon(ing)...  Puck(er)...

Nap time for me anyhow.
