I am thinking you fit the description of “grossly ignorant,” but that’s just my opinion so you’ll ignore it with ease.
Did you notice your post contains...how shall I say this...irrelevant information?
We’ve got your lecture boldly titled “MANKIND DID NOT CREATE RADIATION.” Yawn...uhm...you’ll note that your soliloquy is not related to the article or posts on the article. Straw man and all that.
You say the person is a “nimrod” and with your usual attention to detail, do no more than engage in ad hominem attacks when in fact this person knew the relavance of taking measurements over time.
THere’s the red herring approach where you sneer that this person wouldn’t recognize a decay chain but honestly, medical research proving the hazardous of radiation typically evalualtes exposure and effect and can safely ignore decay chain.
Really your posts are just tired knee jerk swings at “non-professionals.” Well let me point out that our “professionals” in the nuclear power industry are amoral and self interested so the public is on it’s own when addressing the radioactive waste those nuclear power plants keep spewing. Note also that I have had several debates with nuclear engineers or other nuke experts in which they throw dosimetry calculations at me as if that will make me bow down to their expertise and then I have to explain to them that their equations are irrelevant to human health, contradicted by medical science, and...uhmmm...quite obviously useless and then ask why they never noticed that the equations they stake their reputations on (expertise) are useuless? I mean you’d think if a nuclear engineer uses their dosiemtry calculations to “prove” that we should be more concerned about plutonium than bananas, the nuke “EXPERT” would think to himself/herself “Hey wait a minute...that can’t be right.” But nooooooo
Ok I think it’s time for you to go back to sneering about the supposed (but sadly lacking) professionalism of nuke experts. You’ll probably want to accuse anyone using a geiger counter as a leftie or tree hugger...Hey I’m just trying to help you smush together more of your trash observations.
I have degrees in natural science and radiologic technology and have worked with radiation for more than 3 decades. Unless you can trump that I AM the expert.
