Will you at least retract "wildly untrue"?

• tptacek 2y ago
  No? You provided a list of things you personally believe to be supported by the balance of evidence (in several different fields of study), and many of them --- maybe more than half --- are things that are unsettled, or even unlikely to be true. Why would I retract anything?

    Half? Seriously? I could understand believing a handful of them are "unsettled, or even unlikely to be true" given the current debate climate. Honest question, no attempt at rhetorical jiu-jitsu or anything -- why do you believe "maybe more than half"? You must base that estimate on something.

      Yes: I read papers and keep up with stuff. It's cute that you think we're going to dig into this rigorously after "Communism, sky fathers, and crystals", but we obviously will not. Again, no, I will not be "retracting" anything.
