Boy, you are quick with the straw men too. This is why you guys really don't understand what you are doing. I contend that experimental science is (1) intellectually deficient (2) frequently fraudulent (3) subject to a herd mentality (4) insular, unwilling to consider theory to be the solution to practice (5) unfocused (6) unable to acknowledge its own flaws.

I, of course, didn't say "all science is junk," but I suppose you had to cast it in terms that you were able to understand.

...(2) frequently fraudulent ...

Could you please quantify "frequently", and document the claim?

"Boy, you are quick with the straw men too."

No, it's actually your stated position, You have no been shy about your feelings toward science.

"I contend that experimental science is (1) intellectually deficient (2) frequently fraudulent (3) subject to a herd mentality (4) insular, unwilling to consider theory to be the solution to practice (5) unfocused (6) unable to acknowledge its own flaws."

Further support for my position.

"I, of course, didn't say "all science is junk," but I suppose you had to cast it in terms that you were able to understand."

You didn't have to.

How silly of us to infer from this a blanket condemnation of science.
