fair enough.
you do need to accept that a lot of things cant be broken down into such simple terms too. a lot of the things you post about (if you are genuine) are complex things that require specialist knowledge in that field. you then claim to have more feasible alternatives to what the mainstream tells you.
look at your discussion on the ISS for example. you have these ideas about it, yet you wont even observe it for yourself. this is why you are called names round here and probably on other forums you chat on. your ideas wouldnt be so stupid if you actually had some leg work behind them to prove your point.
Try not to view me through a scientific eye then.
My name is sceptimatic for a reason. It's because I've spent a long time in my life being fed bull shit and now I tighten my lips when the spoon fed garbage goes to my mouth, until I'm sure that what I'm about to swallow, smells nice, looks nice and won;t leave a bitter after taste once I've opened up to it.
If I knocked on your door to tell you that the rep from the window firm, who you have just paid 10 grand to, has ripped you off and you can get it for cheaper, I don;t need to stand there and do you a full on calculation for you, based on the amount of windows you have do I?
You will take heed of what I say and get better quotes or you will be naive and tell me to piss off and go with the nice man in the suit who you believe has told you what you wanted to hear.
The man in the suit or the white badged overall stood in front of you at the university, may arrogantly believe he knows what he knows, yet he could also be teaching flawed science, yet he gets paid to teach what they tell him to teach and to go against it means he not only loses his job, he loses and potential to take on another job in that science, as he will be known as a black sheep.
