An anonymous reader writes: Boston College has a funny idea of what constitutes copyright infringement. It has a list of what might be called "you might be a copyright infringer if..." with the sort of things you might expect, such as using file sharing programs or sending mp3s to friends. But some have noticed something odd. Included on the list is using a wireless router in your dorm. Yes, just using a wireless router. Not using it for anything. But just using such a router is considered a sign of infringement. Nice to see our top colleges and universities teaching students completely made up things.

Any set of beliefs or behaviors no rooted in reason will lead people to act or believe unreasonably. And that includes "religious" adherence to science. Science is what we can observe and verify by the means of the day. Far more is known now through science than was known 100 years ago. And that will also be true 100 years from now. To treat current scientific knowledge, theories, and hypothesis, as some kind of comprehensive knowledge-base is to ignore what science is.
