Mentioning Heisenberg for some of these people is like reciting the syllables "second law of thermodynamics." Just meaningless sounds, but they imagine it gives their pronouncements a touch of scientific mystique. Then there's the non-existent "law of biogenesis," but it's a different kind of error. Still, it involves mindless name-dropping. Funny, how they often invoke what they imagine to be science when it suits their purposes, while denouncing the real thing.

Mentioning Heisenberg for some of these people is like reciting ...... .... a mantra to ward off evil spirits?
Very true. But I thought we'd give the newbie the benefit of the doubt, and afford him the chance to make his case. Not that I can see how the product of the uncertainties in position and momentum being larger than Plank's constant divided by 4 pi has anything to do with what he said.....
