I'd say the opposite is usually true, where they can see through a hoax clearer than most. They can also see what isn't a hoax clearer as well. That's the whole entire reason why they ARE scientists, to sift the wheat from the chaff....

BWAAAAAHAHAHA. You don't know many scientists, do you?

Most have a very deep understanding of a very small slice of the universe - common sense is sometimes in short supply. They're like sheep on anything outside of their field - eaily led to the slaughter. And that has been shown many times, as Patrick Henry keeps pointing out to you.

BWAAHAAHAAAHAA. Do you mean the ones I've worked with, studied under, or hung out with?

Some are just as normal and down to earth as anyone else. Some are rather snotty and stuck on themselves, while others are just plain bizarre..

PH gave me a link to an article concerning this Randi fellow who had been invited by a GOVERNMENT LAB to speak to a bunch of physists. While Randi make proclamations as how gullible physists are, he only gave examples of how gullible GOVERMENT OFFICIALS are. One example was how a company had swindled several agencies for $60,000 a whack on an item that was worthless, EVEN THOUGH SCIENTISTS at Sandia Labs had already told them that the item was in fact worthless.

If anything, the BUREAUCRATS that invited this fool should be forced to listen to him lecture them on how government bureaucrats are a bunch of idiots.

Neither you or PH have shown anything here except for your propensity towards character assassination and groundless assertions.
