Bentham is a joke. I personally investigated the first "Fourteen Points" paper, and learned from the editor himself that the paper wasn't properly reviewed. Once I got to him, that is. Read about the idiocy
here, then
part 2,
part 3,
part 4, and
the final denouement.
Amusingly, the SCIgen approach to demonstrating fraud on
Bentham's part was mentioned in that very thread, in 2008...
Bentham also
spam-mailed me once, asking me to
be an editor. So obviously,
if they're a quality outfit, they consider my opinions on how to operate a journal worth listening to. And if they're not, then... they're not.
They're not.
Seriously, Truthers, do you think Dr. Jones actually
wanted to be in this journal? You think he shopped around the thousands and thousands of journals out there and honestly decided
that one was the one he wanted to publish in? The only reason they went there is because it was a simple pay-to-publish with no questions asked. Any real journal would have thrown them out at once.
And it doesn't matter. The nanothermite paper would be dead wrong whether it appeared in
Nature or on a subway station wall.
Sunstealer has laid out rigorous, irrefutable proof of why their own results contradict their own conclusion. I pointed out several irretrievable problems with the paper at the end of
this post. It's junk masquerading as science, and Truthers are simply too blinded by their imaginary cause to see it. End of story.
