    Fine.

    Charging vandals for the cost of replacing windows is bogus, because the restaurant owner should have installed shatter proof glass in the first place to prevent themselves from being open to attack.

    Seems you don't understand criminal behavior as bad.

    The fact is, someone who has made significant contributions to their field deserves some job security.

    That's an opinion, not a fact.

    They don't want anyone to have such protections, because then scientists ... can be easily silenced by politically or corporate-backed powers.

    Not true. And, by the way, academic powers do most of the professorial suppression, typically against those who do not share their world view. .

    And the fact is, the attack on professors, tenure, and the scientific elites in general is mostly coming from the corners that are trying to tear down science as an edifice in general.

    Again not true, as many academics are amongst those advocating the demise of tenure.

    Nice political screed though.

    And the same attitude led to an AIDS pandemic.

    No it didn't and I would bet money you know it didn't. It came in through the bathhouse circuit, which helped sustain it, but took off with shared needles. I had friends die during that and they argued tooth and nail for their "culture", which fostered it. A simple thing like 'don't fuck strangers in bathhouses' and 'don't shoot up after someone else' would have saved the bulk of them.

    A conclusion drawn from the results of an experiment with too few test subjects to be statistically solid and whose subjects' very genome is likely to introduce bias into said results isn't shaky?

    I find no mention of this "very real" industry you speak of on any of the world's stock exchanges.

    Pedantry isn't nearly as funny as some people think it is. He's referring to the fact that there is an entire portion of literature which is scare industry. This scare industry ranges through TV news, print news, science journals, and other areas. To pretend it doesn't exist is disingenuous.

    Faux problems promoted: global cooling, the population bomb, AGW, GM foods, various food additives like red dye, fracking, cholesterol, saturated/unsaturated fats, sugar, salt, eggs, beef, etc, etc, etc.

    Do you think there's more money to be had making up science for Monsanto or for nongmoproject.org?

    The size of each side's bad or false research base or the amount of money they make is not relevant to whether it's an unethical practice that should be expunged.

  13. Re:The problem isn't necessarily reproducibility on Psychologists Strike a Blow For Reproducibility · · Score: 1

    For example, what does it mean for an experiment to be "not reproducible"?

    It means that, as a scientist, you have failed to produce a worthwhile experiment. Hypothesis is first. A road map for reproducibility is next. If said map does not function, you have failed.

    Well, oh AC living in his mom's basement in his underwear, science doesn't call things theories that are still hotly debated - those are called hypotheses. It also requires full disclosure of your data and how one can go about proving/disproving the hypothesis. AGW proponents provide neither.
