Anders Björkman interview

I note the same lack of structural expertise and technical analysis we have come to expect from Anders, alas. I especially like the bit where Bazant is "nonsense" and he claims to have had his "very simple" response peer-reviewed by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
 
His accent is just as creepy as I had imagined. It's like a cross between a generic European accent and Count Dracula.
 
He, as a swede, pronounces his own name wrong, "Bjååårkman". It sounds like the swedish chef, "bork, bork".

He insists it is an "article" that is peer-reviewed even when I quote Ross Corotis saying it is no such thing.

Frankly, even truthers should have a problem with that. Apparently they don't.

Hearing that made me feel sad.

He isn't just a troll, like I thought. He's seriously ill.

It felt incredibly bizarre to listen to him in audio talking about what he normally writes... as always it seems to be any time i go from listening to these insane theories in text and audio forme
 
What makes this so intellectually dishonest is that he knows calling it an "article" that the journal "reviewed" is nothing but a flat out lie, and he is still doing it. As long as the response is grammatically correct, you can get any "response" to any peer reviewed paper published, and by virtue of it being published by the journal it doesn't mean it passed any standard of academic rigor.

That was my feeling as well. His panting was a little creepy, almost frantic? I don't ever recall him going so far as to say Bazant was a shill. Had he done that I would have wrote him off as a nutter sooner. That's his way of denying reality and allowing him to continue this absurdity.

Not sure about the value of words, since english isn't my first language, but he is also calling Bazant a "criminal" in that interview, "he's part of the conspiracy, he's a Lysenko-type scientist".

It's also ironic when he says "why should he put his nose into this?"

The same could be said about him, being a ship-builder without work, sporting a free tripod homepage from France.

lol, too true. Why should one of the most respected and recognized building structural engineers in the world butt his nose in? Obviously this subject is best suited for a ship builder already disgruntled with the US government.

Except I SINCERELY doubt that he's ever designed or built a ship in his life.

Well he does seem to have experience with crashing and burning.
