Science Debate

All of us are entitled to our

anninomity on the forum. We assume a whole bunch of things:

I own a computer company in Texas

You are an IT

worker for the government

JVK is a medical researcher

DST is a psychologist

and a host of others. Since

we mostly don't reveal our identities we have to decide to either take people at face value or not. I normally do

until somebody proves otherwise, it saves time. The old saying about walks like a duck... Until it starts to bark

I'm going to assume it is a duck.

(Actually a university )
But that's beside the point. I

wasn't asking for his full name, address, and license number, an "I'm a medical/biochemist/chemical researcher

for a major university/hospital/manufacturer blah blah blah" would have been sufficient to indicate he's not some

pimply faced 14 year old in his mom's basement who just likes to argue. Heck, you know me, I don't get into brawls

with people here, but I do like to know the value of what's being posted.

Ok, maybe I am missing something then. I thought he did say what he does. Perhaps my age and

increasing senility contributed to that?

have missed...")
