The featured professor implies credentials he doesn't have by describing himself as a "philosopher of science" when his actual degree is in philosophy, not any hard science. In fact he has no scientific or mathematic background whatsoever. Read his opinions with the same amount of skepticism you would apply to a post on 4chan, because he's exactly as credible.
- dang 7y agoThis breaks the site guideline against shallow dismissals. Please don't do that here.
- Causality1 7y agoPointing out that someone is misrepresenting themselves as an authority is not a shallow dismissal. In fact I didn't even say he was wrong; I said take his claims with a large degree of skepticism.
- dang 7y agoSnarkily putting someone down because of his credentials is certainly a shallow dismissal, and just the sort of thing that guideline asks you not to do here.
