You really want to believe that????
Mack is not even a scientist. He does know how to sell millions of books to gullible, naive, simple-minded people.
John Mack’s credentials were quite high enough for Harvard as well as for anyone who knew him and for most folks who read him.
Your assertions still sound like the rantings of someone who’s mostly ill-informed and certainly devoid of any fair-mindedness on the topic.
You seem to be ignorant about the multiple cases where women were pregnant . . . near the end of their first tri-mester . . .
HAD BEEN TO THEIR GYNECOLOGIST THAT DAY—SEEN THE BABY ON ULTRASOUND ETC. HEARD THE HEART-BEAT ETC.
[this, of course, after an abduction experience 3 months earlier where there was some sort of implantation, forced sex, instrument implantation etc.—sometimes involving the laproscopic sort of instrument you are so derisive about]
That night . . . an abduction experience . . . sometimes vividly remembered WITHOUT HYPNOSIS, sometimes seeming like a nightmare . . . sometimes awakening with just a foreboding feeling and a sense that they’d lost their baby.
Then going again the following day back to their gynecologist and finding that there was no baby in their womb.
I’d love to see you try and convince any one of those women that it was all a figment of their imagination—especially within reach of their fingernails.
BTW, John Mack’s procedures in his research on the topic were quite solidly scientific in the best traditions of such.
I’m beginning to think that you wouldn’t know “scientific” if it bit you in the buns.
BTW, who deluded you with the deception that a TYPE II ERROR was less deadly than the TYPE I ERROR you seem so obsessively bending over doing back flips to avoid????
If you knew a shred of whatever about science as applied to this topic as you seem to imply that you do . . . then you’d KNOW EMPHATICLALY that it is impossible to lean so far over backwards to avoid a TYPE I ERROR
WITHOUT MAKING IT VIRTUALLY CERTAIN THAT YOU FALL PREY TO A VERY COSTLY TYPE II ERROR.
But then, you’re not really a scientist either, are you.
IMHO, every full fledged physician is a scientist. Nice try though ...
