On 'excellence' in research : Comments
By Don Aitkin, published 13/2/2013In fact, 'excellence' is not a useful criterion at all. There's far too much of it about.

Poirot, stop pretending that your belief is not circular; you have never proved it; you only ever cite links that assume it. You are a classic example of the intellectual bankruptcy that Don identifies.
Don't answer with anything but proof; not appeals to absent authority. You have nothing. Posted by Jardine K. Jardine, Wednesday, 20 February 2013 7:24:53 PM

Jardine K. Jardine,
On the contrary, I cite links that at least have scientific veracity...as opposed to warbling "skeptical" cliches. http://skepticalscience.com/global-cooling-january-2007-to-january-2008.htm (Gee it's getting Hum[e]id in here) Posted by Poirot, Thursday, 21 February 2013 6:41:34 AM

Ho hum, more appeals to absent authority, no proof, just circular reasoning. You lose, but your intellectual dishonesty prevents you from even joining issue, and that's why you haven't posted proof, isn't it? But perhaps if you keep repeating your fallacies and blind worship, they'll become true eventually. Posted by Jardine K. Jardine, Friday, 22 February 2013 3:00:21 PM

Jardine K. Hume,

Thank you for conceding what is in issue: that your method of assuming what you don't and can't prove is not rational, and therefore can't be scientific. Irrational hierarchy-worship is what you're propagating, not science. Posted by Jardine K. Jardine, Sunday, 24 February 2013 10:47:36 PM

"...(not that there has been much for the last 16 years)..."
That particular cherry-pick is fast turning into a "skeptic" evergreen : )
