"For many years to come one will wonder if the data presented to support claims such as this has been "tricked" to conform to someone's belief instead of representing reality."

No, for many years the oil industry will keep paying supposed grassroot organisations to spread uncertainty and doubt about this issue. Especially in the US many non-climate-specialists want to believe it or they Way of Life (TM) would be seriously modified.

The trick is just a word used in a private mail to indicate a nice method. It is not meant to indicate faking.
The way they cherrypicked these mails, they must have been studying the way of creationists...

I bet that if you discuss that the man will soon admit that he just claims it as The Thing to get media attention. I'ld add walking upright, talking, talking is likely related to throwing better -both require detailed muscle control-, agriculture, dividing tasks and task specialisation, some say religion, the scientific method, etc.

On raw meat, if you rtfa he mentions that ppl probably hammered the meat before they thought of cooking it.
On raw food in general the gentleman says it is more difficult to obtain all the protein and energy from it.

Which kinda clashes with that Jesus guy's attitude, as i understand the Bible.

that's what so great about the bible, if you want that guy's attitude to be good, you can read it. If you want to read he is a brainwasher, you can read that as well. If you want to read he comes with the sword, you're lucky too. Wish my studybooks were that flexible.

"Have you actually ever looked into the idea, or do you like to just read a summary, and then rant about how silly it is?"
I've RTFA and watched the presentation. It is the presentation I have the biggest problem with, too "we'll change the web experience" and pretending it is working while it is clearly in it's infancy when you test it.

Comment Cat got my tongue (Score 3, Interesting) 50

I don't know why but their presentation pisses me off beyond reason.

Probably because it's the n-th time somebody is trying to impose some silly standard.

And pretends it's the best invention since you-know-what.

I have in real life a fairly common name, there's at least 10 of me worldwide, I recognized that they deliberately picked a unique name to show how well it works.

Ach we'll see.
