    Reject, in the near future a group of scientists will be at your door fully garbed in stained off-white lab coats and over-sized Nitrile gloves. They will be escorting 2 confused individuals, an Asian man and some girl. I ask that you let these people into your home to indulge in your perversions of scientific debauchery. Become one with the centipede. Later, perhaps, start a blog. Maybe then I could assign a modicum of merit to your "science is destroying the planet" howls*.

    *by planet, Dave is talking about Dave. When Dave talks about how women behave, or what shape the planet is in, Dave is talking about how women treat him, and what state his body is in. To further illustrate, here is Dave's "planet".

    I attended a seminar about predicting diabetic onset today. Their results were 79% metabolite increase for something they were testing +/- 58%. Their theory was that there might be two mechanistic onset due to this result. Reminded me of you and how silly you can be some times.

    You must excuse Dave, he tends to believe that all scientists are Bond villains in the making. It might have happened after he crossed paths with Dr. No Dave Her Tumor Isn't Benign.

Like for example all them scientists who insisted scrapie couldn't jump the species barrier into bovine, and who caused millions of cows to be slaughtered, when their science was shown to have been completely wrong.
    That's why peer review and experimental reproduction exist. Atypical scrapie is a special case. The research carried out on it couldn't have been faster due to its late discovery. You let me know when you can understand the detriments of a mechanism gone awry, instated over 250 million years of evolution, within 10 years.

    As for why "tolerance levels" are so high, it's a problem inherent with how we calculate the world around us. It's not because science is bad. It's like saying "why isn't there a simple expression for elliptic operators?" Well, because Math is as much a language as English. You can't simply translate into the solution you need without going through the diligence.

    But you know what, you're welcome to stop going to doctors period once you learn how much of what they do is random intuition based on "bad statistics". You're welcome to stop playing the stock markets, if you do so in the first place, based on how the same "bad statistics" are applied in portfolio management research. You're welcome to just sleep in a cardboard box down the street on accounts that the engineers who manufactured your building based their knowledge on stress handling, earthquake codes and circuit topology all based on the same "bad statistics."

    Please.

    I don't argue that most scientists aren't bad. I'm actually quite arrogant and believe that some countries just need to scrap their scientific funding all together (Scandinavian countries, and the Crownies being the worst offenders). But that doesn't mean that all science is broken. Some of the most important scientific discoveries in the past 100 years were reported as anomalies at first.

    This is my last post as I have literally now been bored to death.........arrrhhhhh...uhhhhh.............
    Thank God he didn't also sputter something in that Math language so at least I wasn't both killed and bx + ay = 1ed..........gasp.........
    Respect my lack of authority.
