Nothing. The real question is what the losing side loses, which is research grants to pursue alternative extinction theories down dark rat holes at public expense.
Is this a pet project of yours or are you just normally this testy?,
My pet project, right now, is a personal war on the anti-science bigots who call themselves conservatives. A stunning fraction of scientists refuse to support anything remotely approaching conservatism because of the anti-science bigotry they perceive among its chief exponents.
This cauterwailing about a pronouncement of a sceintific body is the sort of thing that drives the nail in that cofin.
And yes I am that testy over the collective ignorance that conservatives are capable of demonstrating when they chalk their soles for the task.
Otherwise, not my field and not my topic, so other than knowing that some of these guys are really smart guys doing really good work, I have no dog in the fight.
Caterwauling is not a modern discovery nor are you the first person to tire of ‘fools,’ but still discourse is the stuff of reasonable fellows, not the contrariness of harridans and hooligans of speech, don’t you think?
