Experts and Competence

"Being a scientist means living on the borderline between
your competence and your incompetence.
If you always feel competent, you aren't doing your job."
--- Carlos Bustamante (Molecular Biologist, UC-Berkeley)

"Even when the experts all agree, they may well be mistaken."
--- Bertrand Russell

"An expert is a person who avoids the small errors
while sweeping on to the grand fallacy. "

Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.’

Perhaps, but it beats idly rambling and quoting without ever responding outright or making direct statements. Your posts aren't subtle as you seem to think.

Instead of quoting books and articles that are so out of date they have no relevance why not try discussion, which is the point of forums? My impression is you are beating around the bush, hoping to score points in some invisible game. One of the reasons overunity was banned from this site is the scammers were trying to gain some legitimacy from this site, which will not happen.

I am frequently wrong, but when I am I hide behind no one. I state my positions clearly and unequivocally and let the chips fall where they may. When I am proven wrong I try to acknowledge it, and apologize if necessary.

 

Oh boy! It's the "Quote" game. I'll take a turn.
