I got sucked in to buying both rereleases of the original Star Wars series on VHS. I know that I'll shell out for the re-re-release when the finally put it on DVD.
I barely avoided buying both releases of LOTR Fellowship, only by 'borrowing' the first two disk set from family and 'forgetting' to return it until the four-disk came out. (come to think of it, I may still have the first set..)
I've worn out the Matrix on VHS, and I 've been waiting to rebuy it on DVD, but I KNEW that a special edition would come out as soon as I bought it.
Now, it's close enough that I can just wait and buy the whole box set. For once, I'll come out ahead in this game.
The word 'Evolutionists' kinda lumps biology, chemistry, physics, geology, etc. together into one group all trying to disprove Creationism...
Scientific papers get peer-reviewed when they show up in journals. 'Peer-reviewed' sounds kinda friendly, until you realize that every post-doc and PhD ais trying to publish as many of their OWN papers as possible, trying to raise funding or reach tenure.
Everybody's looking for a new and exciting angle to be the next Einstein or Watson & Crick. They WANT to discover something that is outside the current thinking because that's what gets the attention. Another way is to finally prove something that was only theoretical. Or disprove something that was thought to be true.
On the flip side, nothing's worse then finding some new paper that's contradicting your line of research. You want to tear it to shreds, you reread their data and see if you get the same conclusion. And you pray that it doesn't answer (or invalidate) the research you just spent the last two years on...
The point is: peer-reviewed doesn't mean you get a thumbs up and a gold star for every paper. It means that everybody's double-checking every step you make and making you justify every statement.

I only work in a research lab. I keep delaying graduate school out of sheer terror of the oral thesis defense....

Neo must be tampering with the Matrix...

I'm a German film producer, a lawyer, and a former US Army Special Forces member who is now an anti-terrorism instructor!
I kick ass according to Google.
A good explanation, but doesn't DNA assemble 5' to 3' also? So shouldn't your primers be:
5' ATTTG 3'
5' GACGA 3' ?
