This is the argument. This is not a hint, a clue, an implication, it is me directly stating what the argument is:
The argument, as I've repeated over and over, is simple; what scientists publish is what matters. What they say in private Slack chats and emails is entirely irrelevant. I await these authors collective retractions, but lacking that, these Slack messages mean absolutely nothing, and Nate Silver knows that, as should you.
- somenameforme 3y agoOkay, so let's go back to 1998 and some 'Slack' (IRC?) chats leak of Mr. MMR vax => autism guy. And he lays out everything pretty plainly - he's publishing it to sell some junk snake oil he's built up. Would you still be here going "No, that doesn't matter. It's been published, so it must be true. If it can be published, peer reviewed, it must be the legitimate word of science!" Or...?
