We are not optimizing for some abstract notion of fairness. We're optimizing for depth of discussion, which requires well-considered arguments, input from people with relevant experience and knowledge and input from people with inside information. …

(Quote from Eric Walker)

Rossi thinks it is owned by IH. Untrue
Abd thinks it is clearly biassed towards Rossi, with various moderators strong R supporters.

So, Kev, you are in good company...

I couldn't sleep last night (doubtless a guilty conscience from being a liberal hippie) and I had a few more thoughts about questions that Jones Day might bring up. As I understand it (and please correct me if I am wrong), one of the arguments being…

No. Should it?

(Quote from Alan Smith)


What data from real experinents distinguishes between LENR and CCS? Both are hypothetical explanations for something that otherwise does not make sense. Why do you not have this same criteria for LENR (e.g. - prove it is…

(Quote from Eric Walker)


Kirk's work is in two parts. the first one - that cal changes (due most likely, but not exclusively, to conditions changing temp distribution in cell between control and active) can result in significant errors is uncontentious.…

That is worse than I thought. 46% take a fundamentalist literal view of 2500 year old Judaic texts. And the trend is towards more fundamentalism (or else, I suppose possible, extreme ignorance).

(Quote from maryyugo)


That is true, and worth reflection. Jed is rightly popular here as somone who honestly states his views. The difference between him and me, both on IH vs Rossi and on Marwan et al versus Shanahan, is that I am much slower to state…

(Quote from JedRothwell)


Jed. I ignore the personal comment about Shanahan - except to note that it does not in my book constitute any argument for disbelief. Just as somone saying the same of an LENR proponent would be no argument.

You refer to Marwan…

Yes, it is deeply worrying. But, to be fair, understanding the strength of the evidence for evolution requires all of 4 hours time. And That is from a digested book, not the original sources. Checking all those would take much…

Alan: and everyone else following.

I find your argument here impossible to follow. Perhaps I'm being dim, and you will correct me; but otherwise you (plural) are all misunderstanding the point.

(Quote from Alan Fletcher)


That's the $64 billion question isn't it. Is that COP>1 real or not? And yes, if the COP>1 is real, than one would certainly want to investigate why.

I've gone through the basic process before,…

(Quote from Zephir_AWT)


And you missed all of my points. let me simplify for you:

1.) Your statement mixes two separate types of experiments which have different issues involved.
2.) Your numerics illustrate the problem of people refusing to…

Yes, I agree Alan - I'm not denying the likelihood of friends. But equally the JoNP posts are bizaare and I don't know him well enough to exclude the possibility that he would enjoy derailing debates here in just the way Ele…

(Quote from Alan Fletcher)


Alan - I think it is very helpful to judge arguments on their merit - not inferred character of the arguer. For example, were Rossi to put forward proper arguments the fact that he continually lies would not, were they good…

the Lugano test was performed by credible and competent scientists, and Rossi's presence did not affect the independence of the test, since In the Lugano report there are no references to constraints or limits imposed by Rossi, nor it is said that he…

(Quote from Malcolm Lear)


Ele and SSC lie like Rossi: but that does not mean either is Rossi. Then again, maybe they are! there is something about the arch tone, and the blatant falsity (as noted by Jimmy above) that makes it an attractive idea: Rossi…

(Quote from SSC)


Yeah, the PDF has nothing that hasn't already been discussed here. Is it such a big surprise that they are liable for clean-up when they bought the site? I guess UC Berkeley are bad guys too right, since they are in the same situation?
