oh yes I did

[vetran]

I'm aware of the stories, vetran, thanks. I'm merely saying that you don't have a scooby-doo about how science works, that's all, so it means you can't easily distinguish between solid opinions and battwuntish opinions, it's mostly all the same to you - "some scientist said XYZ and I like the idea that they're right".

possibly you are confusing academia with science. Academia is about stature and science in my opinion is about proving facts.

Stories are not facts, provable facts are not stories.

Oh, right, the ex-academic scientist who now does science outside of academia is confusing science and academia. Cretin.

"Proving facts".

You have a Noddy understanding of science.

Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.

science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws.

Science consists of observing the world by watching, listening, observing, and recording. Science is curiosity in thoughtful action about the world and how it behaves.

Doesn't say anywhere that the person doing it has to be qualified to any level. That would be Academia's position.

You mean you accept something as a fact without proof?



Noddy Holder or Big Ears friend? do please try to be specific.

This.

Anybody will less than 50k posts on CUK can't possibly be a genuine expert on anything.

I agree with this. But only as long as we can also state that anybody with more than 50K posts of CUK is equally a cretin.

A sockie with less than 2k posts is hardly in a position to make such demands
