==The scientific method is the creation of man.

I thought the following excerpt from Agamemnon to a poster on another thread might help shed light on this timely and important subject :o)

------------------------

But speaking of his unction for presumption maybe if he'd like to comment on the presumed wonders of what passes for accuracy and credibility in today's "peer reviewed" literature, he'd like to start here with this "peer-reviewed journal" entry:

"Why Most Published Research Findings Are False" PLoS Med 2(8): e124. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124, August 5, 2005.

If that version is too difficult for him to digest, or he finds it "too scary," the puréed peas and baby carrots version may be found here:

"Why Most Published Research Findings Are False" New Scientist 30 August 2005, Kurt Kleiner

Whack-a-way!

But I thought “science” was self correcting and that errors are exposed by the diligence of the scientific community.

In place of “Once upon a time..”, now it’s “A new study says...”.
