What have I said that incorporates confirmation bias? I am interpreting the data. Not searching for data to fit my preconceived conclusions.

You do not adequately answer that instead starting off with the ad hominem attack (“How moveon.org of you).
I cannot accept your definitions nor your conclusions. I am not denigrating any fringe. I am pointing out that there is fringe thought on both sides. I would suggest that we look at data to discern the truth. Instead many have, as in this case, attempted to wedge their opinion into data to confirm their thoughts. This article is superb evidence of someone who doesn’t understand what she is speaking about as it is total gibberish. It also demonstrates little interest as it is a small blog with minimal broad discussion — the same few people.

Did you read the actual site? The comments?

I quote your own words. --- "...to shrug and move on. Which is the correct thing to do."

Of course, I read the article and subsequent articles and recommended to others in this thread other links. You began your first comment with "This article is total gibberish." Confirmation. Bias. Followed by "attack the messenger." You are not an unbiased individual "interpreting the data."

And you falsify yourself. You write, "I am not denigrating any fringe." But before this, "...completely reminiscent of the 30 or 40 here who operate in entirely the same way."

You might reprise this entire thread, and then take up your own advice, to "shrug and move on. Which is the correct thing to do."
