Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little bothered by the fact that most of the comments have a flavor somewhere between 'meh' and castigating the author for various missteps.
Can we all at least agree that pseudoscience is bad and litigious pseudoscience is very bad?
- eranation 14y agoYes. Sell fraud products and sue people saying it's fraud backed by evidence is bad. almost as bad as patenting prior art, not doing anything with it, and suing people who actually make something useful with it. same type of people we should export to a remote island to sue each other.
- chc 14y agoI think this is where the phrase "It goes without saying" comes from. Of course most people agree that litigious pseudoscience is bad. People don't make comments to that effect because it is like reading a newspaper article about a mugging and going to the comments to point out that the mugger sounds like a very mean person. Basically, outrage is a boring thing to read about. If we have productive ideas about what to do about this, that's good, and if we have insights about the matter (e.g. the Romanian legal system), that's good, but it's fairly pointless just to comment, "Grr, this is wrong and I am very angry, rabble rabble rabble."
