    But its striking how often ".... than previously thought" appears in the news.

    And it's also striking how rarely science news reports results that confirm previous scientific thought. It's almost as if confirming previous scientific thought isn't considered newsworthy. :)

    That's what I was going to say. If it's not new, it's not "news".

  4. Well to the guy in Kenia running after a chicken at 1 billionth of the speed of light, it matters whether the earth is flat, since it would get progressively more difficult if the earth really was shaped like a soup bowl.

    But what if the bowl was inverted? Didn't think of that, did you?

    You have to think outside the bowl, sometimes.

  5. Nope. He's not saying that. You are.

    Note: I think this is one of the "Logical Fallacies", folks, but I don't know which one. Can anyone out there help me? (Yah, I could do it, but I haven't had my coffee yet, so...)

    Careful, your post makes too much sense. It may be moderated out of existence by the alt.truthers.

  7. I have a simple question. How does this affect anyone?

    Consider it the butterfly wings fluttering on the other side of the world.

    To put that into perspective, it takes roughly 20 furlongs for our Walmart Goodyear Valvoline Ford to do a single lap around our relatively tiny raceway at speeds of 4,828 m (15,840 feet) per minute.

    Absolutely. The fringes always claim The One True Path, and without them we'll run off the road.

    They don't realize that they're already off the road.

    "false accusations of racism/sexism/intolerance/etc"

    I watch Gordon Ramsey for the fond reminiscences of boot camp.
