about whether the boiling frog story is true or not.
tl;dr - it is.
- tdoggette 17y agoThat's not a good summary. The frog story is dubious.
- rsheridan6 17y agoHow so? It was published in peer-reviewed journals. The modern debunker was unaware of the previous experiments, and they messed up the protocol, so their debunkings are illegitimate. What's dubious about it?
- rsheridan6 17y agoBTW, that last question would be better answered with a comment that has an actual argument rather than a bare assertion with no evidence, or moderation. Facts are facts. They don't give a shit which arrow you click.
- tdoggette 17y agoYou pointed to a previous discussion, about a point on which there was disagreement, and then said, "tl;dr - the side of that argument that I was on is right." That's not a good summary of what you linked to.
- rsheridan6 17y agoActually, it is, because I was right. At least nobody tried to make a rebuttal.
