The University of Chicago professor (two of my previous posts have links) asserted that he had "launched" a new species of fruit fly. It doesn't take a close reading at all to find out that nothing of the sort had happened, but the scientist when on to say, "It's happened...at least it'll happen any second now! All indications are go!" This is a scientist? I'm supposed to take this ridiculous braggart seriously? And I refused to do so--I also refused to forget about it. If he says "any moment now!", why not check back to see if that moment has occurred? That was well over a year ago. When people pointed out--"There is no fly"--they were greeted with hoots of "Superstition." Just one question: Are you truly under the impression that this is an accurate summary of that article, and the subsequent discussion? Because if so, you're vastly mistaken.
Or are you just lying about it?
Either way, your misrepresentation bears little resemblance to the reality.
Hmm, come to think of it, the same could be said for most of your posts on this thread.
I linked twice--just start with the title..."Changing one gene launches new species"-- people are free to go read it and decide whether there's a new fly, or a shoo fly.
And, while you follow the article, follow the money. That's generally a good way to find a liar.
