Sounds like a whole lot of butthurt to me?
Science isn't perfect either, a fact which scientists tend to push under the rug.
I'm an old fart, so I can remember the great scientific scare campaign of the 1970. Global cooling. It didn't come from the great unwashed masses either, it can from professional researchers in white coats and worried brows. They got it wrong, and contributed to the beginnings of scientific distrust we have today.
Spare me the whole diatribe about intellectual fraud. You guys need to get your act together and communicate better rather than just sit in the friggin clouds and tut tut against the hoi polloi.
Yeah, I am done engaging with you, you are either trolling for a reaction, or literally unable to understand what I am saying, so cheers.
If that sounds like "a whole lot of butthurt" to you, I am certainly glad I don't need to engage with you.
As you like.
I would say that you continue to litigate a point that I never made in the first place. I have no opinion about the rights or wrongs of Hancock's theories/claims. My entire point - my only point - is that if he is making entertainment, so what? Not allowing him to film in national parks because it offends science is wrong on so many levels.
Lastly, I didn't ask you to chime in, so I'm not bothered if you beg off. See ya!
