How about some real good science for a change?
In a recent comment to an old post of mine concerning the feasibility of flushing the Koran down a toilet, Sleepy GB (who formerly was supportive of my work) now suggests that my science sucks, due in part to the fact that my toilet does not. I can defend neither my science nor my toilet against these meretricious charges, which seem compelling both logically and patriotically. However, the assertion that "The validity of your experimental result, or rather your hypothetical postulation of a simulacrum of a result, is fatally flawed." is a grossly misleading oversimplification of said result, and is technically inaccurate. My conclusions were not, nor were they intended to be, a "hypothetical postulation of a simulacrum of a result" but rather a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a verisimilitude of a hypothetical postulation of a simulacrum of a result. The difference may not be immediately obvious to a layman, but any scientist worth his salt would see it right away and would reject this flawed critique of the flawed experiment, and defend to the death the original flawed experiment, because we scientists have to stick together.
